The USA's got weapons that show up on the battlefield and can make every person in the radius of a beam vomit uncontrollably. Do they REALLY want to mess with us??? If they do I say let the games begin!

Don't we have laser weapons that can blind out opponents?

I would have no problem retaliating with Nukes if we were pounded by Biological and Chemical Weapons.

If you read your link more closely, you will see that that door isn't shut completely.

I'm sure we do, but you know the libs won't let us fight unless it's "a fair and square fight" if they have slingshots we have to have slingshots too. We can't bring out the laser beams if all they've got are bombs strapped to bodies. If our soldiers were allowed to go all out and fight the way they were trained to fight none of this would be an issue today we wouldn't hear one single peep out of Iran. I think we need to hit them hard and fast, that way you minimize the casualties later by not having a long protracted conflict. Get all the massive bombing out of the way first, that way there's less to bomb later.

If I was in charge I'd be going all out like MacArthur.

You have to sepeate the people of Iran from the people in charge in Iran.

that is a real problem. I would hate to see a war with Iran. it would not be a good thing and would lead to even worse things.

(think both China and Russia). however, working to see the mullah's tossed out should be part of the American approach.

I think the Revolutionary Guard is hoping to see the mullah's tossed out. They've strengthened their position dramatically over the past few years.
