In my opinion no, based on the following:
1. The military is overwhelmed in the war on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. There is no actual physical proof that Iran has nuclear weapons capability. The treaty does clearly state that all nations have the right to develop nuclear energy.
3. Pakistan is more dangerous than Iran and they have nuclear weapons.
4. The President of Iran is just a figure head. The Khomeini runs the country. Many Iranians are not pleased with the harsh Muslim laws.
5. Military action against Iran could cause a military response from Russia and or China. This response could be weapons, logistics, technicans, advisors, or worse even their military.
6. Iran already stated if attacked it would destroy the Persian Gulf Oil Reserves. It does have the capability before we could react to it. This would cause oil field fires 1,000 times worse than what Iraq did to Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991).
7. To conduct ground operations in Iran, we would have to call up all reserve units, and most likely start a draft. Most of our heavy armor is now in the reserves and not in active combat divisions.
8. We have millions of Iranians in America and Europe who left after the fall of the Shah of Iran. Included in this is the Shah's son. We need to use these Persians to covertly work with the young Iranians to re-light the democratic movement in Iran. There is a movement, but it is very secret and underground.
Now if Iran attacks US Forces in the region, or an attack on Israel, then I am sure we would respond by our fleet in the Persian Gulf or high altitude Stealth bombers.
My opinion. Hold. Use our spy satellietes and confirm that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. We have enough on the plate, we should start a transition plan in getting the Iraqi Army to take over Iraq and start getting our brave men and women out of Iraq.

I don't like how Iran are playing the rest of the world for fools over their nuclear ambitions, but as of this date, they have not once stepped an inch outside of their international obligations and duties. They have abided to the letter of the non proliferation treaty and have not done anything wrong. If the western leaders where elected and elected because they where wise, intelligent and capable of being world statesmen, and not craven cowards on a power trip who won a popularity contest based solely on personality, then the elected leader of Iran would not be able to play the western leaders for fools.
I hope the US will not commit military action against Iran. They have no legal mandate or reason to do so. They are lying again, as the IAEA have clearly stated. After lying so blatantly about Iraq and the WMD and links to alqueda, again the USA are trying the same BS tactics. I wonder how long it will be before the US decide's that it was not Saddam who gassed people in Iraq, but the Iranians.
If Bush and Co want to go to war in Iran, I suggest that they pack up their M16's acd go do the job personally themselves.
Of course, they are far too cowardly to ever dare do anything themselves.
They prefer to lie us into conflict and send other people's kids to die in the mess. It is a legal way for the USA Government to cull the poor.

No, no military action against Iran. Why? Because Bush doesn't have neither the man power, nor the money to do something like that.
Maybe, when Iraq is over, Iran will be the next target, but for now, I think nothing will happen

it does no longer be a clever flow for Israel to get in contact. Iran gets sanctioned by utilising particularly some Western ecu international locations, yet no worldwide ability including u . s . has at present have been given the sources to start yet another invasion (with the u . s . it is not in any respect a conflict that's often an invasion) as they are at present busy in Afghanistan and Iraq. saying that if the weapon marketplace interior the u . s . decreases it is sales, i'm advantageous that Iraq or North Korea is next on the line because of the fact the uncooked products including Oil is amazingly rewarding with the financial help of Israel as common of path. good luck!

I think it will end up being Israel that deliveres the first strike against Iran and America will play a supporting role in that.
I believe Israel has already threatened such an action if no action is taken soon by the UN....Yea right,lol!

Syria is the next target, they are easier to defeat and we have started to withdrawal our diplomatic support staff.
the recent attack on our embassy was sponsored by the State of Syria
