No, we can't invade a country simply with bombs. We'd need NATO and the UN or other allies with hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground helping us. We cannot afford enough troops to even begin to consider invading Iran. And why would we? There's no excuse whatsoever. Has Iran attacked us? No, they simply have a nuclear program and a new unfriendly government. But Pakistan already has a bomb. Plus, if we invaded Iran, who would watch Iraq? Uh uh, maybe if Bush were friends with all our allies and we were attacked, but not going to happen.

Also, Iraq was much weaker militarily than Iran. Iraq was a relatively easy invasion, especially since Saddam had no WMD.

The most we could do would be to bomb their nukes facility, but it's a hardened site and I'm sure Iran has taken precautions.
