Iran KNOWS there's really not much we can do. We used up the boots-on-the-ground military in Iraq an Afghanistan, to the point to where we're going to have to draw down in Iraq no matter what happens there. If we launched massive air strikes or allowed Israel to do so, they'd likely be ineffective, since the Iranian nuclear program is spread all over underground in locations we don't know.

If we did it anyway, Iran exports 5% of the world's oil. They could hurt us much worse than we could hurt them. WE don't buy oil from them, but those that do have to buy it from someone. That would be Europe and China.

Chimplomacy is very, very good for my oil sands stocks!
