I know we got a gung-ho bunch here but response so far surprises me, but okay....
@CCIP, my message was:
Sure, the US can blow stuff up big time. They are vey keen bombers
So: Big deal, we all know that.
But this is not just about bombing places to smithereens. It's about achieving a
real single result : Iran not getting nukes. 'Getting' as in future, and as you know that may be a very long time still...
This is not about good old fashioned conquest and occupation as in i.e. Roman or Hitler's times, thus physically controlling the hot zone.
So, and even more so than Vietnam, which after all got the crap bombed out of it in Rolling Thunder (my apologies to the Vietnamese readers if I sound disrespectful here; not intended), bombs will not break Iranian -read radical islamist- spirit. Furthermore, this will not remain an isolated Iran thing. Over time -probably soon- it will surely all backfire on the attacker.
I think the Euros will not go to war with Iran. You know how Europe is. And I'd be surprised to see America taking on Iran, never mind the tough talk as part of diplomacy and even the (already) longtime military planning of the Admin
. I dont think the American people will have it.
