    They haven't figured out how to stop every last shell from hitting Saudi Arabia yet...

    If Iran knew anything they wouldn't even begin to fight back until 6 months after the invasion.

    Russia and China will use their nuke option to stop an attack on Iran. They will not let another oil nation fall into the hands of the USA. WW3 is the only outcome of attacking Iran and there will be no winners except the elite who planned the whole thing.

    Same would be true here.
    Iran is not Iraq. I also seem to recall that China and Russia weren't too happy with us threatening Iran.

    This. It would be a disaster and quite possibly ruin the dollar.

    of course there would have to be months of troops build up in the area and planning and the most painful part of fighting a war, is logistics.

    as for the "insurgency" i think that would be a long/nightmare of a problem.
    I think you're underestimating the strength of Iran's military forces.

    3 weeks would turn into endless war because we know what happened when Bush said it would be quick in and out of Iraq.

    The thing that gets me most, is the American news media tries to make out that Iran is the aggressor in this situation. And people fall in line like good sheep.
