"attack the regime as we did in iraq."

You make it sound so simple. It isn't.

[jabotinsky]

here is why it is simpler...

unlike iraq, iran is more homogeneous and better educated overall. and no we dont intend to send an army in. what I was proposing is for the US military to bloody the noses of the jihadis. here is a perfect opportunity to put tomohawks (sp?) to use, laser guided missiles (amen), etc etc. the grassroots for a change from theoCRAPic rule to civilized democracy in iran is infinitely more developed than in iraq.

nothing is easy in the ME, it is a treacherous place.

but at the very least, we owe the region and ourselves this duty to reverse a wrong that we (correction: CARTAH - history's greatest monster) helped bring about.

knock off the jihadis in iran, and I have a feeling the butchers in saudi a, gaza and syria will be even more attentive to reason.
