That's why the French via Sarkozy are starting to demand that Iran be checked, militarily if necessary. If Iran did anything to us, it could not be severe, and, again, we could simply delete them from the map in minutes if they did so.

Absofrickenlutely! I figure it'll take a missile ending up in Europe somewhere...we could throw our hat in the ring, AGAIN, and keep the American casualties to a minimum by making a glass parking lot out of Iran and just divvy up the oil. Little bit of wishful thinking.
