I think that we are too stretched out for a third battle front.A ground-force invasion of Iran would be almost impossible and unwinnable. Their geurilla/terrorist ground defenses would be almost unbeatable.
The advantage of an air strike is that Iran has surprisingly weak air defenses. The bombing would be akin to the air strikes on Iraq during the first Persian Gulf.

I would not be too sure. The Iranians haven't been spending all the oil dollars on benefits to the people... the Russians are their new best friends and they have been selling them AA tech and hardware.
It would be bad. My fear is not that we can't just that our leadership would not see it through. Remember any country we attack would have the fifth column of our liberal press to aid them.
This is not to mention the spineless RINO's in congress who would side with the Democrats and peace now activists. So what ever we do it would need to be quick, brutal, and decisive.
Does our country have that type of will any more?

LOL! They said the same thing about that country that battled Iran to a standstill and killed over one MILLION Iranians in that war.
We would roll them over like a 3 dollar whore.
