No, I don't think Iran would actually be that foolish. I think they know pretty well that our President will use a "big stick" if necessary.
Would your big stick amount to allowing NATO to speak nastily to Iran and then sending in some drones to play around? He has never offered to use any kind of big stick against Iran so why would he start now?

You're a hawk when a dem is the POTUS but a dove when it's a republican!
I wish I could flip flop so easily.
Here's the left when Bush was POTUS...."War is NEVER the answer! Bush is a war criminal!"
Here's the left now with obama...."Look at how tough he is! Killing terror leaders left and right! Blow those Iranians out of the water!"
Assuming that Iran is dumb enough, which I don't think they are, to try to block the shipping lanes, that would make action to keep the lane open, justifiable. I don't think that would make invading Iran justifiable.

War monger! (only when obama is POTUS) otherwise, war is NEVER the answer, right bob?

More head in the sand soap boxing. I dont think there is one individual who did not favor hitting AFGHANISTAN, the country that was actually tangentially complicit in 9/11. However, Iraq was a totally different thing all together.
Now, with Iran...in the same mode as Afghanistan, suggesting that they might want to poke the watch dog. They are being provocative towards the U.S., not the U.S. wanting to invade them.
So pull your head out (of the sand that is ), and realize that if a country confronts and "pokes" the bull, they'll come soon to realize they get the horns. So in no way, matter or form is there a flip-flop on Democratic sides. If W, had stuck to the matter at hand, he would have had UBL and we would have been out of Afghanistan PDQ.
