War w/ Iran is not needed. Action by Shabak is. If the DoD is given the green light for an Iranian offensive it would be over in less than a day. Raptors and Spirits are very, VERY accurate. It would be similar to Desert Storm but on an area of greater scale. Blowback would be fierce and hard with some shit hitting the fan in OIF and OEF by the Quds. After that, I would expect regime change (it is overdue). Ops would be non-nuclear but would include MOAB. That 1 would scare the shit out of the average guy @ Bushrer, Natanz, and the other sites if he survived and was not inside the radius.

Si vis pacem, para bellum...

IF we invade IRAN it would have to be under marshal law where anything suspicious equals bullet to the head.

Are you serious?  In assy. warfare the last thing you want to do is to create more insurgents.  We will not invade.  Hell, I doubt we will go to war at all (the Dems would be near extinct in Nov. if we did, Obama does not want to cause that) and if we did it would be a short air war.  Sanctions first and regime change w/o war.  No one wants to go to war.  It is a bitch.  I personally, have not gone to war (OCS after college).  But I can tell you that you do not want to create more enemies then you already have.  Plus, clearing and holding Iran and killing civs even accidentally, when the majority of the ppl are moderates who love the USA, would do more harm then good.  I will be the first to say that Iran needs to have they're asses kicked if they fly a 235 tipped bird and hits Israel, the Green Zone, or otherwise.  However, Iran is not Iraq or Afghanistan.  It is a totally different beast.

Since when has burning American flags meant they love us? I also never said we would invade. I said IF we would invade.

It is not but a lot of that is by the mullah sympathizers.

Iran is a much better place than the United States.

I hope Obama has a little more brain than Bush and don't begin a war with second intentions.

The world needs peace.

I doubt even most Iranians would agree with you there.

@Bamboleo The question here is not whether Iran is a better country when compared with the United States but rather its complete disregard for regional security in a post-9/11 world. The buildup of nuclear weapons in response to a neo-Persia and the ramifications are the stakes and they are by no means trivial.

Sorry for the little stump here. I am used to campaigning

LOL why?

Most Iranians hate their government.
