I'm afraid an attack on Iran while we are still heavily involved in Iraq would cause riots over here. The "anti-war movement" would expand beyond your average leftist and more to the population at large.

" The "anti-war movement" would expand beyond your average leftist and more to the population at large. " I have to respectfully agree to disagree with that statement.
The fly over country average American has been waiting for this showdown with Iran since 1979.
Yes, the MSM and the leftist WILL be vocal, but, I am not to sure if it will flood over into the real America.
If anything, if this attack on Iran is successful, more Americans will be in more support of the President and the WOT, and if the mullahs are over trowed, and some kind of government is put in it's place, we might actually see a country that once was a Allie to America become allies again.

No way. The Left doesn't have the balls to fight in the street anymore. They simply aren't as militant as they were in the 60's.

If a true leader such as Abraham Lincoln took such things into consideration, the Union would have dissolved over 140 years ago.

I think if we took out Ahmadinnerjacket the population in Iran would rejoice.

From what I hear, the younger population of Iran loves the USA

Don't worry, the administration would blow up the Golden Gate Bridge or topple another pair of sky scrapers to unify the country first. /tin foil
