I can`t believe that the average citizen in Austria wants stuff like this to happen.

Hmmm. Well, if it were up to me, the USA, the UK, France, Israel et al wouldn't sell weapons to a lot of people that we sell them to. Iran wouldn't have American war planes right now for example.

But that's just me.

Those American warplanes, particularly the F-14s, most likely aren't airworthy anymore. And they were sold to Iran during the Shah's era.

And they certainly don't have any decent munitions that can compete with current American technology. Even stuff from Russia. If it comes to an air campaign, they will be just as vulnerable as Iraq was- maybe more so.
