We do not have to attack Iran. What we should do is lay down a perimeter around Israel and Jordan and tell Iran to dump their nuclear program in the sea. As far as Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east of Iran ISIS is already recruiting there so there will be no Iranian Caliphate there. (Afghanistan is 80% Sunni.) To the west of Iran it is only a matter of time before ISIS runs that country. Look at this from Iran's point of view. They fought an 8 year war with Iraq that was not religious and they had new American hardware and training and they still filled the fields around their cities with bodies of the men from the front lines. Some of whom died in the oil filled pits which the Iranian soldiers charged into and then Iraqis lit on fire. There was gas used in that war also I think. ISIS takes Syria, which it will, and ISIS gets those chemical weapons and Iran knows better than anyone that people lie to inspectors. Russia was mentioned. They are hurting from the Ukraine conflict. Strategically they really can not lose that. The west knows what a huge win it would be for them. That could start to really spiral upwards. Russia is parading its nuclear missiles in the street these days. I figure it is a hail-marry bluff but then again not something to be ruled out. Real men use nukes, right? Iran is also in too many places at the same time. They have Hezbollah attacking Syria, their effort to keep Iraq under their thumb, and they are playing in Yemen. The Houthi, Shia, have taken at least partial control of the country. While this might provide a way to keep Sunni terrorist, ISIS inspired of course, from attacking Paris it also plays into the hand of Iran although Iran can probably not make much of it at the moment. Iran's workload is what gave Israel the nerve to airstrike the Iranian and Hezbollah generals in Gaza. Hezbollah has pledged to reply in-kind so there might be some rockets out of Lebanon later this week. Saudi Arabia, while 85% Sunni, is calm but Egypt, mostly Sunni, is probably more unstable than most would like to admit. Pockets of ISIS supporters are also forming in those countries.I am optimistic that the ongoing mess in Iraq-----will ultimately poison Iran
I wish obama had the brains to convince ISIS that we'd leave them alone if they headed due south-east into iran, but that's far too complex for him to consider.
nah------I do not believe it will happen that way------Iranian nuts will get even MORE hot on shariah filth and that
system will send Iran down the tubes-----of Iran may even decide to declare a CALIPHATE to include Afghanistan
So, no, we do not have to attack Iran. We should just remind them what they are up against and tell them to dump their nuclear program in the sea. Then, maybe, we will play nice with them. Other than that just sit back and enjoy the popcorn. Just hold the popper out the window and cover your eyes. After all, real men use nukes.
