Of course it is. No sane person contemplates the use of nuclear weapons and it has been clear, for quite some time, that neither Bush, nor those that advise him, are wrapped real tight!

The way you frame your response presupposes that Iran is the enemy du jour and that the only options available are surrender or fight. Framed thus the answer becomes inevitable.
At present Iran is not the enemy, not does a state of war exist between the US and Iran. The choice isn't between surrender and the use of tactical nuclear weapons. There is a full spectrum of options available starting with diplomacy.
I think that you are missing the point of the article. It's not so much the environmental disaster that tactical nuclear weapons pose, it's the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands, most of whom are innocent of anything other than geographic proximity.
