War is in the DNA of America so starting a war is just business as usual, don't worry too much about it.

Even as an American you shouldn't worry about it, it's the government's problem, they did it so let them muddle through.

I have no sympathy for Iran, as the free-thinker that I am, they are at the absolute opposite of everything I stand for. But I don't have much sympathy for the US either, this habit of thinking they are so superior that they can murder someone like that and get away with it.

At the end of the day I only see 2 bullies that are threatening each other. None has the higher moral ground so let them bark at each other and do whatever.

Now if you want a prediction, I'd say the US has the advantage, a much more powerful army, high technology and like I said, war being in their DNA so if war it is, then the US will feel right at home like a fish in water. The best Iran can do is terrorist attacks against embassies and other such places but they can't attack the US directly and terrorist attacks happen all the time which means that whatever happens  won't be very different from what is already happening all the time.

The US and UK are the reason Iran is the way it is today, everything you don't like about them the US and UK installed as in 1951 they had a democratic government who were more for freedom and development of the country this also meant the nationalizing of their oil the result was the US and UK overthrowing their Government in 1953 and installing a puppet Monarch dictator who oppressed the people with torture and secret police (who were trained by the US) for 25 years not to mention the CIA aided him in doing so. He was overthrown by the people in the Islamic Revolution only problem was that he executed all the people who were for democracy so who were the only people left to take over the country, secret police and dollar print machines? The same radical clerics running the show today.

US has the advantage in the numbers problem is they had that in Vietnam, Somalia and Afghanistan and non of those wars went anywhere close to plan they were forced out in two and are still fighting one today 18 years after it started which complicates going into a conflict with Iran who are their neighbours meaning a conflict could lead to handing Iran not just Iraq but also Afghanistan.
