I think you're not giving our military or our Country much benefit of the doubt. The US military is the most advanced, trained and battle hardened of any nation on earth. We have the most sophisticated technology, honed through years of conflict on an actual battlefield. Our political leader may be a limp-dicked liberal, but the Generals on the ground know what worked and what didn't in the decades long middle east conflicts. A conflict with Iran will no doubt be a quick air war with lots of bunker busters. We only need to take out nuclear facilities. Iran poses no other real threat to us (save the occasional terror attack). An attack on our shores by any nation will galvanize the entire population to defeat that threat. There would be little in fighting like we see now - Liberal and Conservative will join forces to repel the threat(remember what happen after 9-11). Citizens soldiers will join forces, quite possibly standing side by side with our regulars.

It takes a lot to get America really pissed - but when they do, get the hell out of the way.

Obama will hopfully be a one termer - with his loss, we will also lose the feebleness of his leadership and once again be reveared as the greatest nation on earth by our allies and feared by our enemies. But today, we have the opposite, and that my friend is the #1 reason for the problems we have today.
