    In the old West, if someone threatened to kill you ...

    you could legally shoot him dead right on the spot. Now that Iran
    has threatened to kill Americans or America's friends - should
    we wait to see just how many people they're going to kill before
    deciding what to do, or, in keeping with the spirit of the old West,
    cut them off at the pass ?
    What would Sun Tsu do ?
    Without referring to his writings, I'd guess he'd strike first.
    It's doubtful the President will do that, but Iran is already in dire
    straits economically, so runs the risk of a total economic collapse
    should she start something she can't finish.
    Her oil fields are her lifeline. Lose those and she'll lose everything.
    Well, the Mullahs will lose everything. Her people are itching for
    change.

    I'm afraid we are going to be in a tit for tat experience now. As long as they Iranians have the Republican Guard I don't see the people being able to rise up.

      Anything that has to be approved by congress will NOT get done now that the democrats/communist control the house.

        Old west mythology is irrelevant. It is an era long gone. Mr. Sun is dead. His book on war has some application ... depending on who is doing the doing and who is getting the doing done to them. The iranian guard has demonstrated its capability of imprisoning and killing defenseless demonstrators. That puts the a little bit lower than the little people who obediently killed unarmed demonstrators at Tiananmen Square. No one at the fed. level has any stomach for another war. Fine. We've got enough going on. Need to finish off some of the current fights. Meantime, let iran twist in the wind. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

          Loyalty to Dictators seems to fade somewhat when the paychecks stop coming
