would Iran really dare to fight the U.S.A and its allies?

I'm afraid if they do, their won't be much left of Iran when it's over. USA can't afford to get into a extensive land offensive, we would rely on air support as always and if you think Shock and Awe was anything, I'd hate to be Iranian. Iranians need to get a grip on their maniacal leaders.
As far as would the dare, a rational leadership would no better, but a crazed lunatic, who thinks he speaks for all Muslims, may just pull the trigger to unite the arabs and the muslims against the West - to their ultimate detriment.

I think it would. The real question is would the US dare to fight Iran ? NO . If it knew it could fight it, it would've done it decades ago. That's because America uses force with weak countries(Iraq for instance and Afghanistan) and offers democratic options to countries like Iran.

No, not now at least. They know they would be defeated in a traditional war. Islam does not confront directly. They will continue to use terrorism to get their goals met. Iran wants to control the entire region and oil in the middle east. This of course will not be allowed to happen, but its ruler is nuts so who knows.

Why don't ppl learn history more? Iran is not an agressive country. It has not history of anything but being defensive. Why the question? Just because they want to implement their RIGHT BY THE NPT and enrich uranium for energy purposes....

of course they would. did Iraq hesitate? even though Iraq and Iran hate each other... they both are founded among the same principles of religion.... hate the west. now even though the unit i was with in the Army is over in Iraq, and has lost some members.... i have to say i respect what many muslims over there are trying to do. they dont want western influence in their homes, life, country... most of them are peaceful, but some go to far. and i think that Iran's current govt would go WAAAY!!!! to far...

Yes! Any of the countries over there would be more than happy to engage in a war with us or any other democratic nation. If not for any better reason than to become a nation a martyrs.

If they do...they would lose quickly....how many troops do we have right next door??? The sky would be ours in a matter of hours. Then we cut off their gas supply seeing how they import most of their refined gasoline. Then obliterate their nuclear sites and gov't buildings. Then we are done.

They wouldn't do it as a stand up fight. They do crap behind the scenes like some woosie that can't fight (e.g. terrorism).
In public, they'd act all bad a**.
Right now, they can act all bad because we can't handle another theater of operation.
