Some wild speculation
Wikipedia article about neutron bombs
"The neutron absorption spectrum of air is disputed, and may depend in part on absorption by hydrogen from water vapor. It therefore might vary exponentially with humidity, making high-altitude neutron bombs immensely more deadly in desert climates than in humid ones. This effect also varies with altitude."
For some reason, I had an odd feeling that when we give up on Iran, neutron bombs might be involved. Nothing to back that up other than a weird feeling... I still think we can avert a crisis if we cut the same deal we gave to India with Pakistan, in exchange for them taking out Iran's nukes.

I seem to remember Jimmy Carter proposing the neutron bomb. May be wrong on this, but I do remember the comments on how "it'll kill all the people, but leave the buildings in great shape to move in new ones!
