Given that Iran used 14 year olds to clear minefields the hard way during the Iran-Iraq war, they aren't likely to just fume about an attack, despite the casualties. Assuming they have the same anti-tank weaponry that was used in Lebanon, things could get pretty nasty, pretty quick. We could lose a large percentage of the 300k military personnel and contractors we have in Iraq. How that plays domestically is an open question. It is likely that such an event would be received poorly. But there are those who will swing to support an open conflict with Iran. If there is any significant opposition, there is always martial law... First, any attack on Iran will not be resolved overnite. Its unlikely the Iranians will capitulate. Instead, the Iranians will dig in and fight. I think that will be seen by Americans as an unnecessary expansion of an already unpopular war. I can't imagine Bush will come out of this with his head.
