I mean, "it will be over soon after it starts?" LOL...who are you kidding? You think the Iranians are just gonna lay down like that even if they are defeated militarily? The Israeli's won't get a wink of sleep for years if they attack Iran.
you underestimate Israel's power...as do most of the middle east arabs. The only reason Israel has not shown their capabilities is because the US has had the handcuffs on them the whole time.

Iran talks a big game about wiping Israel from the map....we'll see when it all starts who is doing the wiping. Try to remember....Israel has been getting ALL of our weaponry for a LONG time, and they will not be bridled if they enter into war with Iran. In comparison...Iran are a bunch of cavemen with sticks and stones. If the gloves come off...you and the world will see.

This and what you mentioned should be proof that the Middle East is increasingly becoming more unstable. Obama has decided to empower our enemies in the Middle East and give his middle finger to our allies.

The countries that surround Israel are mostly controlled by Iranian military, finances, and strategy. They can hurt Israel, but it will be the Russians that take them down.

Yes and please explain to me what Iraq and Lebanon had to do with that? Bear in mind Lebanon is mostly Christian and Shia.

And for extra credit please explain to me why we did not go after openly Salafist Saudi Arabia since that was in fact where most of the hijackers and Bin Laden were from, not to mention where most of their recruiting and material aid comes from.

No, just better informed ... that's all.

If Iran can launch a satellite then they have the capability to launch a ICBM with a nuclear warhead.

I want us to help them with weaponry, selling them more things, etc.
I doubt Israel will need help from us in a physical way. They're topnotch when it comes to defense, and rightly so.

Satelite = Nuke USA

Do you know how it operates? Where it would need to launch a nuke? How space zoning works?

You are assuming way too much.
