Looking to the past as an indication of what might happen now, what was the fallout from Israel taking out Iraq's facility? Did everybody run to the UN and whine and cry? Iran is deathly afraid of us at this point. The "cowboy" from Texas has a reputation of being too quick with a gun.
As far as I know Iran doesn't have a big brother to hide behind. Allah seems to have left the building if you catch my drift. The fundamentalists no matter how thick the calluses on their foreheads seem to be batting zero at the prayer thing. I suspect there's a huge untapped market for anti-depressants in some of those countries.
so far we've racked up Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq with the exception of a few insurgents that have been over exposed by the press. Do you believe the mullahs in Iran haven't noticed?
That was Iraq, this is Iran. Big difference.
I don't think you can look to the past on this one.
Sure Iranian regime is afraid. They also have been busy signing alliances with all their neighbors in case any of them are attacked.
Aside from this, you miss the impact that it may have on the Iranian people. Right now, the majority are pro-U.S.. It would be a great advantage to keep them that way.
