The plan would be to hit Iran with a time on target barrage of everything in the American inventory and then sit back and roast marshmellows by the Flames of a burning country.

I doubt that, and I doubt your strategy would work. Bombing Iran into the ground will take the progressives, the youth/students, the women that have been backing Mohammed Khatami in an effort to throw Ahmadinejad out on his ear, and destroy any progress they have made against Ahmadinejads policies. Unfortunately, with Khatami's backout out of the election, it looks like Ahmadinejad, despite his incredibly low popularity numbers, will gain another term.
There is a silent revolution going on in Iran. It's small things. The traditionalists hard-liners have banned Valentines day, but many young people ignore the laws and buy heart-shaped-boxes of chocolates and flowers for their girlfriends anyway. Following the religious orders of their religious leaders isn't their way of life. It doesn't control them.
But if you carpet bomb their country, it will.
