You could be right oooor lol it could spur a wave of nationalism and unite them against us, it is a roll of the dice. I would hope U.S. intelligence would feel comfortable about it before opening Pandora's box. I assume they would and with no inside knowledge I can only guess. It's these scenario's where I really like hearing what our military FReeper's think will happen.

I don't think "a wave of nationalism" would "unite them against us".

They already know we are on their side. If the nuke facilities went up in smoke - I can't help but wonder if the Iranian dissidants would not seize the moment and take back their country.

I agree - I like it when the military people weigh in - they have insight to help us understand.
