I make it a point to refrain from...taking the bait you so liberally place in front of others. In this instance, I will bite. My worry (and susequent fear of underestimation) stems from the current , and obvious problems in a war against a country 1/3 the size of Iran, with far less than half the polpulation. I find it relatively disturbing that some find the use of force, an "easy" answer, and do not fully consider the possible implications of this mentality. Or at least I would hope it is a lack of consideration, versus an outright disrespect for the soldiers who will inevitably die should we decide on this sort of action.
The military forces availible to Iran do indeed pale in comparison to our own....as did Iraqs. Iraq obviously did not have, either the weapons, or the will to use anything resembling a WMD. I myself, do not have the confidence to proclaim the same in the case of Iran. The assumption that Iran would be an easy kill....frankly...scares me to no end, as I seem to remember a similar statement in the recent past....that was obviously in error.
If indeed , you feel the need to be critical of my opinion in the future....you are free to express yourself directly....I have not been nameless for some time.
