Unarmed? The news has been carrying stories about how Iran has
supposedly been slipping Iraqi insurgents highly advanced armor piercing
warheads. Stuff that we don't have effective defenses against. And this
probably isn't their (Iran's) state of the art stuff.

Are these the same news networks that carried all that "news" about Iraq
having WMDs?

My comment was about the US's attack of Iraq. Iraq was effectively
unarmed when compared to what the US could bring to the field. N. Korea
would have made more sense to go after, but they, quite likely really did
have nukes.



Undoubtedly, we can enter and occupy Iran. But we will incur major
losses while doing so.

Will those losses be high enough to politically force the US government to
pull out. A democracy can only say "we can" with the consent of the
people. This time it may be withheld.
