I mean, I get the gist of the article. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
The United States is ill-equipped from a national unity standpoint to go through another long term occupation. Even with the magic well of cash that is the Federal Reserve System, eventually the Piper must be paid. This is especially so with the nation led by the current administration which has less than stellar support of about half the country.
Invading Iran would be less fun than the invasion of Iraq. Could we beat the Iranians? Sure. Could we destroy the Iranian government? Sure - there isn't a lot of love for the Mullahs. The Occupation is the problem - the occupation always has been the problem, and we - the Americans aren't good at it.
We still act like good guys, even though, increasingly, in the eyes of the occupied - we aren't.
Crazed American, out.
