Yup, we’ve ignored Iran for too long. Like ignoring a lump under the armpit that turns out to be cancer.
Bringing them to heel even ten years ago might have been cheap. Now the price will be high indeed.
Ten years ago we attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and subsequent years bogged down in counter insurgency and nation building. After Americans are wary of the casualties and costs, not in a mood to attack Iran. It may have been cheap, but US public support was spent five years ago. Add the financial meltdown of 2008, chances for American support for another overseas adventure is nil. The only Americans freaking out are the Jews because their homeland is ground zero for Iranian madness. Rest of America wants our forces home. NOTE: This is not a Ron Paul rant against Jews, but my 2 cents of what I see. Welcome any other opinions.
