When asked about Western strategy in nuclear talks with Iran, Adelson replied: “What are we going to negotiate about? I would say ‘Listen, you see that desert out there, I want to show you something.’ …You pick up your cell phone and you call somewhere in Nebraska and you say, ‘OK let it go.’ And so there’s an atomic weapon, goes over ballistic missiles, the middle of the desert, that doesn’t hurt a soul. Maybe a couple of rattlesnakes, and scorpions, or whatever.” “Then you say, ‘See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development. You want to be peaceful? Just reverse it all, and we will guarantee you that you can have a nuclear power plant for electricity purposes, energy purposes’,” Adelson said.

I hate to think what Romney would be doing had he won the presidency seeing how this crazy person donated a hundred million to his campaign.

Sheldon Adelson: Obama Should Drop ‘Atomic Weapon’ At Iran, Not Negotiate
I am convinced this man is insane. He clearly knows nothing about nukes and obviously fallout. If he want's to fight Iran then by all means he can go to Israel and join their military.

Ahh OK you r post released.
While i understand you fear over full on nuclear exchange you are aware that one nuclear strike will not kill the world. Since the first test in 1944/5 there have been over 2000 nuclear explosions.
That's a lot of bombs, and a lot of fallout, yet we are still here.
Nothing short of a full nuclear exchange will kill us. But one strike. ahhh not so much

There's a lot of insanity where the ME is concerned. Hard to say who is more insane, that guy or the other. Personally, I'd be more in favor of creating a huge refugee crisis and letting the chips fall where they may. Wiping out a bunch of people with nukes is too much like playing god and people just aren't in His league.
Like another participant in the thread said, there's not altogether that much of an environmental impact. Using that as a dismissive argument is a poor strategy deterrent. Sheople need to know this.

What could be more insane than using a nuke as a warning shot?
Yes but Iran isn't as big as the US
