The only way we invade is if Iran does set off a nuke. Short of that, we can raid. But if the raid fails, it increases the chances that they will nuke

We don't have a choice, IMO. I think they see the endgame and will wage war against us whether we choose the fight or run. They see the prize in sight - Iran dominant over the entire ME. If we don't fight, they will still fight us.

The thing is, they don't have to nuke. They can set the ME on fire with suicide bombers and their proxies. They have no dount learned the Palestinian lesson, like Nadine has so eloquently elaborated. Wage relentless low-energy asymetric war against the West, through proxies, without pushing the envelope beyond the tipping point. Europe would be cowed. Our left will have us running for cover. What could we do in that storm? There are limits even to US power, and the mullahs know it and are counting on it.
