Again, you are seeing the conflict as a conventional war, and using its yardsticks of success. You need a different model, different yardsticks. I disagree. A U.S. colonization-by-proxy of Iraq (that's exactly what is being planned) Strong claim. Care to back it up? Even if we get a revolution in Iran, it will not be pro-U.S. The new regime will be moderate, Islamic, nationalist. They will not be our ally. They will align with those that help them get and keep power. They will be moderate and will align where there interest lay. Iran is in an economic depression, 40% unemployment and per-capita GDP down 35% in 10 years. The revolution brewing is an economic one not ideological. The new regime will follow the money.
