Iran has much stronger ties with its surrounding countrys however. Bombing Iran with planes for a decade would have significantly more of a reaction as in consequences that bombing Iraq did.
Iran is a politicol suicide/wildcard. Iran's ecomical benifactors step in on a war between Iran and the U.S = political disaster where the U.S lose's.
As Pan said, it is possable for a war to be provoked.. But at this point there is no will of the people for the war. Bush's administration along with himself would be metaphorically pressed up against a wall with no retreat if they did this. Expecaily because I dont believe the American populace is going to support anouther war so soon, expecaily if Bush's reason for the war is that Iran attacked U.S troops when U.S troops tried to invade along the Iran boarder without Irans authorization.
This would be a dangerous move at this point in time, and because the protection of the American people, whom elected Bush in the first would be jeprodized (in a greater amount even than before) because of a dicision made by Bush plausably in this case. There would be even more dire consequences for Bush himself.
