re: We might lose a city over it, but they'd lose all of theirs. And for what? would not that equally apply to Saddam complying with weapons inspection. Those americans would never defeat outdated tanks of my guards, oops Or Taliban not complying with US demands after 9/11. Allah would protect us against those Americans, oops

CJ, re: This one in particular baffles me. Not only would Iran have to launch a liquid fueled missile from a disguised freighter of some sort undetected, they'd have to live with our response. We might lose a city over it, but they'd lose all of theirs. And for what? It's the Muslim/terrorist/9-11 hysteria. Even though there have only been 2 significant foreign terrorist attacks on US soil in our history, the "war on terror" thinking has permeated the culture. It's been sold by the government, and bought by the media and both political parties. Human nature loves the bad guy enemy. The posts after 9/11 were really funny; sleeper cells in every city, a second wave, chemicals fed into the AC systems in all the malls, nobody leave their homes, on and on. Of course Iran is so far away from a any threat to us... and would be so stupid to pose one. But these guys will buy anything... they are part of the mass-hysteria. Hell, the cold war nuke threat was at least semi-real, these guys believe Iraq was a threat. How bizarre is that? John
