The Taliban was overthrown yet the US, Britain and other countries are still at war in Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein's regime was also overthrown, yet the insurgency remains while the war threatens to outlast even WWII. Why would war against Iran be any different? There is a lot more to war than having superior equipment and I don't think you're really seeing the big picture here. Ahmenijad's statements about the Holocaust and Jewish people are reprehensible.. but it has just been talk. He's a loudmouth dictator wanting attention on the world stage. If Israel is attacked, it should defend itself.. however it is not the responsibility of the US military to fight and die for Israel.

The war with Iran would not be fought like the war with Iraq the second time or the war in Afghanistan. The war would be more fought like what happened in the first gulf war. The US are not coming to help a nation, they would be coming to destroy a dictatoship and its ability to make war.
I also don't think you should start a war just because you can, but when a foreign nation threatens you and the life of your allies, you are forced to act. The time to attack is not right now, but if Iran continues its path, the US and its allies will have no choice but to destroy the forces that Iran has. And any attack on Israel by Iran will no doubt bring the US into this confict.
I also have no doubt in my mind that if Israel has a major attack on it by Iran, and they use Nuclear or chemical weapons Israel will use the full force of its nuclear weapons to bring death to the Iranian government and its ability to sustain itself as a nation.
