Iran would attack Israel first.
There would not be much Iran left for us to deal with.
Why is everyone on Free Republic so excited about going to war. Perhaps you all need to go to the local VA hospital to see how we wage war now.
Iran is not a threat to us. Let the Kingdom and Israel deal with them.
Lets take ten or twelve years without invading someone and see how that works out.
I’m not convinced of the right answer yet. I am convinced that:
(1) Obama will choose the worst possible option, far worse than whatever shockingly stupid and destructive thing we imagine he might do (such as sending them money and technical assistance to fund their nuclear weapons program).
(2) Obama will do everything in his power to stop Israel if Israel tries to actively stop Iran from nuking the West.
As for whether we should attack Iran and then quickly withdraw, I am undecided. I’d rather see someone else do it, but I don’t expect Obama to permit either outcome. What I think doesn’t really matter. I’m commenting more on how we should think than on what we should decide.
