he is, look how hard they fought for falluja. Ill give em this, they love the holy sites.
You better hope so because when these numb nuts decide to do something I think their sensibility goes out the door. I've got now doubts Israel can beat the crap out of Iran by themselves...they can kick a$$. I suspect most of Iran's infrastructure to make war, actually repel an attack, would be destroyed in a "pre-attack" night raid that would cripple all the plans, trains and automobiles Israel thought was a threat. Would we help them in the covert action. Probably. Would be get directly involved on a mass basis like we have in Iraq & Afghanistan? Not sure but I lean toward it just over 50%.
Bottom line is this. Nothing we do there will matter in the long run. It hasn't in Iraq, they are still all f'd up and I think it's just going to get worse. We're only marginally doing better in Afghanistan than Russia did...and I think Afghanistan will return to their old ways...the only way they know...faster than Iraq. The people over there have been at this type of action longer than man first started to scratch his first language on a rock. They're not going to change.
