So, the answer is to just invade Iran?
Don't forget, in WWII, we had the backing of the majority of the planet. Heck, the Us didn't get involved in it until we were attacked on our own soil.
The war on terrorism is not a war in the conventional sense, as there is no enemy state, but, rather, idealologists that do not agree with the Western world, who hide out in remote locations. War is not the answer, at least not war with a country. A new type of war should be our focus, something which the current people in charge do not seem to realize.

There's no denying that there are factions within some countries that do support terrorism, but the point is it's never the entire country. There are many who live in these countries who do not suport terrorism, the "common man".
However, running over these countries with the world's mightiest armes services will lead to some accidental killing of innocents. Do you think that the families of these people will just say "OH, that was a mistake, it's OK."? Wouldn't you feel a sense of hatred towards those responsible for killing your loved ones? Isn't that what has happened to the western world?
Blindly going into a country to impose a government that we, as outsiders, determine that they should have isn't a well thought-out concept. The Us has already done this, and I fear we'll do it again.

I think we should have a new form of warfare, not the traditional blow everything up attitude that we have now.

I dont think we have that attitude, If we did we would level Iraq, instead of the way were doing it, patroling streets, door to door searches, precision guided bombs, ya get the point. Were being as "gentle" as we can be.

They've evidently had the range for awhile, even though it has been hushed. I wonder how many months lag-time we're getting in terms of political developments with NK.
