It's not a matter of whether we can but rather whether we should.  And I'm not a fan of pre-emptive war.

Of course, if they want to have a Vietnam-like experience they can attack Iran.\nThese countries are not comparable, Kuwait is as small as capital of Iran and Iraq was at its worst point of military power when US attacked them, years of sorounding had made them so weak that even 1 Iraqi aircraft didn't do any mission.\nAlso it must be noted that US troops only captured deserts of Iraq and its mountains were attacked by Turkey which had long time problems with natives there.\nThe last time that US troops try to attack Iran on 25th April 1980 they so hurrily left Iran that Iran government sent them the  body of boys.\nIt is funny; neither Iranian was aware of operation nor they shoot a bullet only Iran sand defeated USA.

Well now.  A US battle battle group, which consist of aircraft carriers, destroyers, nuclear attack submarines, is capable singly of defeating any power on earth.  And the US has twelve battle groups. So at the very least Iran would be wiped out twelvefold.\n\nRemember how Saddam Hussein's "Mother of all Battles" turned out to be a total non-event.  Iran would simply cease to exist in a matter of days.\n\nAll your conceited, self-serving phony so-called religious rhetoric is useless drivvel.

None of them. US can't attack any of them. I know US have the best and newest type of weapon but N.Korea have nuke bomb and if Us attack them they will fire them and US with all of it's weapon can't stop them in the air. Also Iran is a very big country and it has a lot of loyal soldiers and it will be a long and hard war with many casualty for US. I know all of them so I'm sure US leaders know these so for certain US won't attack N.Korea or Iran. Iraq was different from Iran or N.Korea because Iraq's people were against Saddam and his dictates and also Iraq didn't defense against US but with all of this facts US have a lot of problems in Iraq so it's another reason. For attacking Iran or N.Korea US need other countries help because it doesn't have enough soldier and also US need other countries to reduce global pressure on US about beginning war in the world. Another reason: N.Korea and Iran if be attacked may do anything they can't and threat the world they may explode what they can. My evidence is Iran's leader's speech which was about this subject, he said we will ruin the world if we will be attacked by another country and he threated to stop producing and transporting oil in the world.

Despite the Anti-American rhetoric from Iran, it doesn't really want to have any major confrontation with the US, especially on a head-to-head basis, as militarily it is far weaker than the US.\n\nIn addition, the US has no real desire at present to send troops into Iran either (it's bad enough fighting battles in both Afghanistan and Iraq without fighting Iran also, since the best combat divisions are already tied up).\n\nIran is well aware that "attacking the US" would provoke a swift and powerful military response in the form of bombings and ship-launched missiles against strategic military targets in Iran, in order to prevent further Iranian attacks. The US would also ensure that Iranian nuclear facilities were well "bombed".\n\nThere would be no need for troops on the ground as the US wouldn't be seeking to invade, merely to punish.\n\nIn some ways an attack on a US ship by Iran would give the US an excuse to attack Iran and halt any nuclear intentions it had for the foreseeable future. \n\nHowever, Iran is not a "helpless kitten".\n\nWhen the USS Vincennes accidentally shot down an Iranian passenger plane, believing it to be a hostile jet, Iran vowed revenge - whatever it took.\n\nLess that 6th months later Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie killing all 270 people on board + 11 townsfolk who were subsequently hit by the falling debris.\n\nAlthough Colonel Gadaffi, who the the favorite whipping boy of the US was blamed, many intelligence agencies outside the US blamed Iran for funding the terrorists and proving the detonators.\n\nThe timing device used on the bomb was found to be similar to a batch sold to Iran 3 months earlier. 3 weeks before the bombing, West German police successful arrested several Arab terrorists who were plotting "to blow up a US plane". Two of the terrorists (now serving 20 years each in a German prison) admitted that Irananian Intelligence had supplied them with money, training and detonators.\n\nSo perhaps the real question is whether the US will cause a confrontation, either deliberably or accidentally with Iran, and how Iran, rather than the US, will react. \n\nMy guess would be a 6 or 7 suicide bombers in Times Square, Wall Street, near the Whitehouse, etc. There is a hell of a lot of "wannabe martyrs" in Iran, but they lack both the training and the funding. Iran can provide both.

Good god NO. If we attack Iran Syria will invade Iraq and our troops there will be flanked from the east and the west, not to mention what other Arab countries would jump in. Our troops in Iraq would get slaughtered.

It is doubtful with the lunatic they have as a president. I think before the diplomatic procedures can be played out, he is going to either strike Israel, or give cause to have the Israeli's take a preemptive strike due to his continued threats towards Israel. If Iran manages to get nukes, the entire world, but primarily the US and Israel will be in real danger. Any move toward diplomacy is a smoke screen, and is just meant to buy more time. They learned from the UN/Iraq debacle, and he probably has no intention of keeping these nukes in Iran. He will ship them abroad in an attempt to get them over here to America and Israel.

Iran will nuke Israel if given the chance.  They are that stupid.  We have to stop them but the answer is not to nuke Iran but to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.  I say air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.  This is of course, after diplomacy fails.

it's not going to happen. the USA can't afford another war and the public is actually against invading iran.

it would be a total disaster if so.  it would require an occupation, since only bombing iran would allow them to retaliate against the iraq, israel, and afghanistan as well as automatically providing al-qaida with its strongest ally ever.  iran would be able to launch terrorist attacks around the world if it was bombed. an occupation would also be a disaster.  iraq is tough enough, and there most of the population supports the US.  Any occupation of a country where the people like their gov. (as in iran) is much more difficult than an occupation where the people were oppressed by their gov. (like iraq)

I think that this question is totally irrelevant. If Iran( or any muslim nation against USA)  builds nuclear facilities (civilian or military) americans will destroy that country (only becoz they c them as a threat).\n\nI think that america's common sense has been permanantly crippled by bin laden. Post 911 America views the whole world suspiciously (except their slaves in UK and friends in Israel). America has ever since been contradicting themselves. Remember the war in iraq, it was fought bcoz bush claimed to have evidence of non existent weapons and the threat of a dictator.My question to the world is "If iraq , y not pakistan?". Mushy's a dictator and one who openly admits to having nuclear weapons.\n\nI predict that soon the patience of the international community will run out. A grand alliance (Russia, China , France , India and the Arab world) could be formed so that america and americans will exist only in history textbooks.

WE won't attack Iran,we might bomb your enrichment facilities.Iran is maneuvering its self into a position that most of the world will not allow.Yes you have oil,But larger more powerful countries who could take it have instead either not bought from you or have bought from you.\nBut the world is hungry for that oil,can Iran really afford to go around slapping faces of larger nations?

They can and probably do.  I did not understand some of the answers above.  Something about Iran being more likely to use them????  If the US is less likely to use them.  Why do they need them in the first place?

1. The US will attack Iran.  -->  Military attack?  Maybe 5%.  At this point, the U.S. wants to reach a diplomatic compromise, and luckily we can rely on the intelligence and competence of Condaleeza Rice.\n2. The US will use nukes in the attack.  -->  The U.S. does not use nukes as a first strike.  0% chance.\n2. WW3 will start in a big way   -->  If war looked imminent, the UN would finally wake up out of its coma and start honoring its charter, rather than just engaging in empty rhetoric.  Until now, the UN has had the luxury of inaction because the United States always stepped into the void and did what had to be done.  However, a huge future conflict would require that the UN work feverishly to prevent a catastrophe.  1% chance\nall within the next 12 months.

No. We've been here before with Korea and Vietnam. America would be incredibly stupid to make the same mistake again. \n\nIf America invades Iran (as America, and not through its proxy, Israel) America will be taken apart and humiliated in several ways:\n\n1 Militarily - America never wins such wars. It does not understand the passion of the peoples it oppresses. It always makes the mistake that military might wins out - it rarely does - the spirit of the people brings victory - and that spirit swells in the oppressed.\n\n2 Politically - all the World, and notably Europe, with Russia and China, will stand against America.\n\n3 Economically - the Islamic World will decimate US trade, not just oil, but shipping, property, automobile, air, military sales - you name it.\n\nThere will be no third World War over Iran - but America will be mightily defeated by the will of the third World.
