Because it may be a long time before you get any more (cheap) electronics and you may want to preserve what you have.

How many countries actually have a trade surplus with China?
My suggested puppet government in China would not only reduce the losses in the war with Iran, it would also allow us to keep up trade with them.
And Louis, be aware of the irony.

Concerning the more serious problem of Iran´s nuclear capabilities, I remember the Israelis doing a successful aerial raid to destroy an Iraqi reactor back in the 80ies or so. Apparently Iraq didn´t try to build a new reactor. I don´t know the circumstances about Iran´s reactor(where it geographically is, how it is guarded, how competent/trained their AAA is) but a similar thing might work here, too. Or 100 conventional cruise missiles or something like that(100 so they can´t intercept them all of course).
Iran will then be very upset of course, but the wuestion is whether they really dare to strike back.
