Invasion of Iran is not an option

Invasion of Iran is not an option, despite Newt Gingrich's comparason of the Iran leader to Hitler and this situation to 1935 !

Iran has a population of 67 million, half of whom are under the age of 20- that is infantry age !

8/10th who hate their Govt. Sorry but I STRONGLY suggest you leave the Military Strategy to the pros since you have demonstrated you are completely unqualified to render any serious judgment on the matter.

"Iran has a population of 67 million, half of whom are under the age of 20- that is infantry age !"

And many most of which (at least if intellignece is to be believed - admittedly a big "if"), probably wouldn't fight for their current regime.

"Supposedly" there's a strong undrucurrent there among the young to overthrow the Islamic regime.

We really only want the oil anyway (and stop them from setting up a Euro Bourse), and as our experience with the Shah after WWII and more recetnly the religious right wingers shows, the country as a whole appears to be allergic to Democracy.

so why not just pay the big bucks to have a junta take it over and keep the oil flowing?

Nearly all the people in Iran of Infantry age are pro-American.

Too bad the original post has been taken down. It was classic jackass stuff. "Jew York City" and references that New York getting nuked would be a good thing were classic stupid.

I don't buy that for one second - I wouldn't call them pro-American, I would call many of them anti-current Iranian government, which could mean that because we share a mutual enemy, they may view us as allies, but pro-American...I'm sure there are a lot, but not that many.

I do think that places like Iran and Cuba, if you could put a few well-placed warheads into their governments/governing structures, that the people might rise up.

We just don't have the manpower to go the ground route though.
