A regime killing regime change may not actually have to involve a WWII style (or Iraqi Freedom style) invasion. Knocking out the top 20% of Iran's ruling clerics, head cats in the IRRGC and all their precious assets would do just fine.<BR/><BR/>While Iran has some redundancy in their command and control centres - these are actually quite few in number - as are the cats calling the shots. Such a hit may well mean that any wanna be supreme leader could get his own guts stomped out in the streets ny the Iranians themselves.GrEaT sAtAn'S gIrLfRiEnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760252542953109449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-23569643073449781282008-05-02T00:08:00.000-04:002008-05-02T00:08:00.000-04:00The scenario you propose is interesting, but I do ...The scenario you propose is interesting, but I do have some certain reservations.<BR/><BR/>I have no little doubt that the American and Israeli military, launching large-scale pre-emptive military attacks on Iran, Syria, and Lebanon would be able to achieve the military successes that you describe. However, I think that it is rather optimistic to assume that stability and moderate egalitarian sentiments would spring up from the ruins of the former regime. <BR/><BR/>No matter how well-intentioned or well-executed such an operation might be, you are going to run into a simple and fundamental fact: People don't like being invaded, and if they get angry enough, they will violently rebel. There is already no shortage of anti-western sentiment in the arab world, and for anyone, having your homeland be invaded, regardless of the government at the time, is going to be an affront to your dignity. <BR/><BR/>There are angry people in these countries, and invading them will just make them angrier, and place a lot of American troops within shooting distance. Conquering foreign countries is no simple business and very messy.<BR/><BR/>You can't simply bomb the crap out of them, land some troops and then declare "Mission Accomplished".<BR/><BR/>(I mean you no offense in this criticism, and I hope you will take the time to understand where I'm coming from.)Hans Lemursonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348059042172518489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-35981837781685727622008-04-24T00:56:00.000-04:002008-04-24T00:56:00.000-04:00Hi Findalis - grrrl, that is scary!Thanks for the ...Hi Findalis - grrrl, that is scary!<BR/>Thanks for the cool link!GrEaT sAtAn'S gIrLfRiEnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760252542953109449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-68811424280394380792008-04-23T23:27:00.000-04:002008-04-23T23:27:00.000-04:00Actually it is not the Shahab-6 missile that Europ...Actually it is not the Shahab-6 missile that Europe has to worry about, but the Kavoshgar 1 rocket which can go 4000 miles or 6,000 km you can hit London (2,740 miles).
