Much as the U.S. would like to war with Iran, I think the good ole red, white, and blue is standing on its last leg economically, politically, and socially.
Can we stop this "U.S. is on it's last leg talk"? How many decades have people been saying this now? People said the same about England 150 years ago, yet they are still a strong and thriving nation.

Iran is also more than twice as populous as Iraq... More fighters, probably more resources. Bad, bad news if USA vs. Iran goes down.
If Israel gets involved, it'll probably be a wrap on the planet as we know it.
There's no way in hell we're going to invade Iran the way we did Iraq. It would make Iraq look like the invasion of Granada. At most you might see a couple surgical strikes on nuclear lab targets from drones or a few tomahawk missiles flying, but we aren't launching a full scale Iraq-style war in Iran.
I have the feeling something is going to go down this year involving either Israel vs Iran or Israel + US vs Iran. I heard that Boeing just received an order for a bunch of bunker busting missiles. You can take a wild guess as to who they will be used against. In this case the objective would be much more simple: Reset the clock another decade on Iran's nuclear bomb, not regime change and democracy.
