You know it's going to happen soon. But from who?

Amazing how any time an Islamic nation rumbles about obtaining a nuclear device, various countries who already have nuclear devices throw a fit.

The UN doesn't have the balls
The US needs a WAR intermission right about now

Have you heard the anti-semite rhetoric coming from the Iranian president lately?

I said the UN based on this logic:
- The US can not engage them. We are spread too thin now.
- Israel could do it in a heart beat, but won't because they need peace with the Arab world.
- NATO? That would be a land war and Iran just might whip them. Iran has a big, well trained army thanks to us.

This leaves the UN coupled with EU, Russian and American economic pressure on Iran's government. The younger people are very internet savy and long for contact with the Western world. They are not Arabs and will rebel against their own government if squeezed.

Squeeze and wait.

Iran is not the only example.

I think many have become spoiled after the "ease" of "victory" in the IRAQ war. We do know Iran will be different, but do we know how much different? Are we prepared?

This is not a video game!

"Who will give Iran the beat down?" omg

Not because they are an Islamic nation. Because they are a state sponsor of international terrorism. The govt has vowed to destroy Israel. It would be foolish to sit by and allow them to have a nuke.

Perhaps not primarily because they are an Islamic nation but that's definitely one reason. Look at Pakistan and India. India tested a bomb and the US did nothing until Pakistan followed suit several weeks later. Then all of a sudden they slapped sanctions on both countries.
