What happens if we bomb IRAN and it causes that government to collapse?

[InformationPolice]

Then we have another oil-rich middle eastern country with anarchy and/or civil war.

Can we tell what the results of our actions might be?

And if you think that won't happen, remember, US intelligence failed to foresee the fall of the Shah in the 70s, they failed to predict the fall of the Soviet empire, they misread the capability of the Revolutionary guard in Iraq.


Sorry about the previous question where I said Iraq instead of Iran. I shouldn't post while I'm watching football games, lol

We get them back for making us look like fools under Jimmy Carter's short "presidency".

What if we attack Iran and it causes OUR government to collapse?

[TheHunter]

We turn it into a large lake and have boat races!~!

A draft. Repeated terrorist strikes in the US. Iran is thought to have cells here and there's a large Iranian community which includes more than 3500 new immigrants each year. Russia moves in to occupy Iran. All the OPEC nations cut off our oil. Muslim countries attack Israel, and Israel retaliates with nukes. Stuff like that.

why would we bomb iran,what exactly is it that they have done ,

[espresessbcglobalnet]

We know that if we take proper action the government now in control of Iran will be gone(they will be dead). Considering how terrible these people are, there is no down side. The only thing that could possibly make this a bad thing is if we put boots on the ground or try to rebuild Iran. Iran should be leveled, bombed into the stone age as an example to other countries who would Defy the modern world, and western culture.

Bombing always UNITES the citizens of a country, If it was fragmented it WON'T BE after the bombing starts.

The best way to unite an enemy is to bomb them from the air, the protests will unite the country for years to come.

PS. Bush is a "uniter".

Stop & think about it. Wouldn't that come under the heading of Best Case Scenario? Any outcome short of that, however, would be a disaster.

putin said bad things would happen if we attack iran.
