[quote="Metal"]For the record, my comment was towards the Arab gulf states, not Iran--they're okay in my book, I just dislike the Arab gulf states, which despite numbering a total of nearly 100 million people, would rather have someone else do the dirty work instead of being self sufficient, very selfish people too who would rather see a shining royal house than an improved education system.
However, on the subject of Iran---lets be honest, the US could do as they please in Iran and nothing would happen to them directly. The worst case scenario is that Iran pumps extra cash into Hezbollah and Hamas and THEY in turn hurt Israel, not the US---that's the worst case. The cheap Iranian missiles, if ever launched, would be detected 10 seconds after leaving base.
And to add, Iran is surrounded on all sides by American proxies. Pakistan alone would tear the Iran to bits, and the Wahabbist Taliban doesn't take kindly to Shias either. So when I say that they would simply go back to the stone age and nothing more, I mean it. What can Iran do that can threaten America on its own soil---their missiles would barely scratch US bases next door in Iraq.[/quote]
Dude, Iran hasn't been conquered since Alexander
