If you are able to think in 20 year or even 10 year increments ahead ... you would see .. it is NOT a good idea to attack Iran ..... and that includes Israel...

it is hard for us - Americans - to think beyond a year ...even ... Just think ... if 'we had the capability of thinking ahead 20 years - at the point in time when we first began meddling in Iran ............

The blowback from neglecting Iran in 1979 and cowering in fear

So are we sure this wasn't the blowback from overthrowing the legitimate government of Iran in 1953 and installing a sadistic despot to terrorize his own population until 1979?

Speaking of cowering in fear hero... which branch of service are you a veteran of, and why wouldn't they take you back for this conflict?

"If we don't strike Iran Israel will."

So let Israel attack. Our military and budget do not allow for another military adventure no matter how much Dick lusts for one... We fund the IDF well enough to provide for their own defense. Must we pay in US blood as well?
