. It may herald a new era of entrenchment where Iran will feel compelled to build a nuclear deterrent. After all, the Khamenei is now a martyr and there are 300 million shiites all of them will be intent on exacting revenge. Iran may fall into chaos but the fundamentalists will have renewed cause. They were sleeping dogs relatively speaking.
Other middle eastern nations who were enjoying large numbers of visitors, calm and prosperity may never forgive the US for putting them in an involuntary predicament.
Soz, long post.
The line from Isreal and the US (ministry of War) is Iran was ever expanding their rockets, their best ones have a theoretical range off 3000miles. The question according to these two is not *if* they want to build a nuclear weapon, but *when* and that's their justification.
Whilst there is a lot to say about that i do think the world would be a safer place without a warmongering Iran if they succeed in their goal of overthrowing this regime.
I don't think all Shiites are looking for revenge, you got to remember the upraising in January and the regime's brutal response and still everything we see from protest and such, they are not shouting ''death to America'' they are not shouting ''death to Isreal'' quite the contrary i think as soon as the regime's power is over we see an whole different Iran.
