I agree with Corbin
I agree with Corbin, but we are not going to do it unless we get some obvious, severe provocation directly aimed at us.  I disagree with Kingmi, the regime in Iran is rational and ruthless.  As long as they keep steadily turning up the heat on the frog in the pan of water it won't jump out.  They are probing Israel with these rocket attacks and when they are ready they will attack with massive force including nukes, just like they said they would.  They are going for the premire Islamic force in the world and if the Iranian Shia get the Jews in Israel before the Arab Sunnis they will reap incrediable benefits even if they lose tens of millions.  It's a race and they will do what it takes to be first.

The important thing to keep in mind is that both the Gaza and northern Israel attacks were planned for quite a while, which means that Iran wanted this war, this way. It isn't just a target of opportunity or a sudden impulse........it's part of a strategic decision to expand the war.

Iran has been at war with us all along, because that's what the world's leading terror state does. The scariest thing about this moment is that the Iranians have convinced themselves that they are winning, and we are powerless to reverse the tide. 

Khamenei told his top people late last year that the Americans and Israelis are both politically paralyzed. Neither can take decisive action against Iran, neither can sustain prolonged conflict and significant casualties. Meanwhile, the Supreme Leader said, the terrorists are all working for Iran, and we will expand the terror war.

The only way we are going to win this war is to bring down those regimes in Tehran and Damascus, and they are not going to fall as a result of fighting between their terrorist proxies in Gaza and Lebanon on the one hand, and Israel on the other. Only the United States can accomplish it.

kingmi,
by all acounts Ahmadinejad is a 'true believer', and therefore truly dangerous. Apparently he sees himself as the standard bearer of militant Islam, i.e. Islamo-Fascism, which, in my view, is far more dangerous than the Hitler-Mussolini version of modern fascism because it claims to be sanctioned by God!

Kingmi, I hope you are right, but I am afraid, you will be found wrong!
