If there was a way to "slap" only the mullahs, then by all means we should do so. Unfortunately in the case of Iran, the people don't uniformly hate their government. If the "slap" strategy was marginal for Iraq, where the vast majority did despise the government, it would be even less effective in Iran, instead driving the people towards nationalism.
No, I think in this case we need to send Condi over there with a couple of container ship loads of Levis, Playstations, satellite dishes, whiskey and good old American porn as a peace offering.
