Nah - not unless Iran does something completely overt and idiotic - not their style - they ride the margins of perceived allowability.

Like Saddam did by brazenly stockpiling Weapons of mass destruction?

No one liked Saddam - Iran has some allies and hasn't (yet) done enough to sway world opinion to make a ground war/invasion feasible or necessary.

Yeah, world opinion was really with us on Iraq.

It was a real righteous war.

You know Cats, when you come here and try to rewrite history like that you need to remember that not everybody on this forum is as stupid as your buddies down at the Country/Western Titty bar.

Go back and have a look - the world signed off and sent a boatload of people and bombs.

They may have done it grudgingly, but there it is.

OK, have to get some work done.

Don't attack any countries until I get back.

I can see him torching their capacity to drive up the price.

Drooooooones.

Iran has hundreds of miles of coast from which it can launch anti-ship missiles. Guess how much oil gets out of the Persian Gulf without their consent. For this reason, bombing Iran makes necessary the invasion of Iran.

What do we use for a blueprint, our resounding success in Afghanistan? And where did you pull Lebanon out of, thought our ultimate ally and friend, aka. Israel is keeping an eye on them.

Right, the "Coalition of the willing"

Of the 48 countries on the list, three contributed troops to the invasion force
