Unmanly behavior
The Bald One:
Paraphrased from a philospy text: "A man stands on a bridge. He sees another man drowning in a cold, icy river below. Does he bear any responsibility by failing to act?"
To answer your question, of course we can do nothing...would you let the man drown?
If this is not analogous, you can certainly make that point, and give your explanation as to why.
Throwing around the "neo-con" label and hurling insults, doesn't accomplish much.
(a) I didn't call you a neocon. I called you a troll.
(b) The responsibility to make the analogy is yours, not mine. When you do, maybe I'll answer whatever the question was.
Here's a counter-conundrum:
If a man is lying in bed asleep when another man breaks into his neighbor's house, surprises them, kills them, then starts to choke, is it the now wakened man's responsibility to save the burglar/murderer of his neighbor? Especially when he recognizes the man as the murderer of his own father?
According to your rules, YOU figure out how that applies or doesn't apply to Iran, then report in this space.
