Some deny the United States will ever use force to stop the Iranian leadership, which runs their Nation States, which sponsors International Terrorism from having nuclear weapons. Obviously to deny that the US will intervene is silly indeed. Especially considering Iran has already threatened to blow Israel off the map, has sent insurgents into Iraq to kill US Troops and currently funds international terrorist organizations. Yet some insist that Iran is so big, you cannot attack it in fact;

Andy states; "that borders over 8 countries and has over 2400 kms of coastline."

Yes Andy and that means there is no way in hell they can defend their nation, yet they are now bluffing themselves into war and continue to be a Nation State which sponsors International Terrorism. I have been watching have you, when fanatical leaders start dancing in the street and up the rhetoric, generally we all know they do not laugh last.

Andy states: "As quite evident by some of the simplistic ignorant rants"

Whose ignorant and who is ranting? Be careful. Because personally I am not ignorant and secondly I am dead serious, no ranting here; Do you understand? Andy, do you have any idea the stats on the United States of America, when you talk like this? Some military observers believe that the United States could in fact defeat the entire Iranian Army in less than 70 hours. As a matter of fact few believe it would take much more than 3-days. Consider all this in 2006.
