I read this subject line as "U.S. test simulates attack on Enron's nuke sites"

I say, go for it.

As to the real topic of the message, it's a fantasy to think we wuould
have support of the governments, or the mass population

Iran has had a culture and an identity (Persia) for about 5,000
years. These people are proud. I know some. They would fight any invader.

The military hasn't been degradged by 12 years of embargoes or attacks on
their air defense sysem.

They have the manpower to supply a large army.

It's true that we control, more or less, major milage of borders
on the east and west, but thousands of miles of borders are wide open.
