THAT should be your real concern. If Israel reacts with military force to Iran's nuclear efforts, then will the US be dragged into the quagmire to keep it from puffing away into the desert wind when the missiles hit?
I really can't see the US doing a solo on Iran. It has been said already: they are not all that weak, like Iraq or Afghanistan; they have allies - STRONG allies (Russia, China) interested in the economic benefits of their relationship; the US is stretched thin with two military efforts; the US political capital to wage another such effort is practically non-existent.
Nope, I really can't see it. Even if the US hoped that a quick invasion would spark a popular revolt and overturn the mullahs, I would think that they would have some lessons learned from both Afghanistan and Iraq.
I would HOPE they do, at least!
