Iran test fires long and medium range missiles

The main difference between what happened after the U.S. invaded Iraq and what would happen if the U.S and Israel decide to destroy nuclear facilities in Iran is the distinct capability of the Iranian military to respond in a relatively organized and decisive fashion to what it would surely view as hostile actions made by enemy forces.

Read the article linked here: Iran Test Fires Long and Medium Range Missiles for more information.

Of course there is also the question of whether it would be more dangerous to allow Iran to keep working on the development of nuclear weapons (if that is, in fact, what the Iranian government is up to) than to suffer through whatever consequences would come of trying to forcibly halt those development efforts now.

I for one hope that diplomatic talks are successful, and that no military action has to be taken. The decision to bomb targets inside Iran would take us into a whole new world of conflict, upheaval, and unpredictability that I don't even want to consider at the moment.

That said, I don't want to live in a world where Iran is aiming nuclear weapons at its neighbors.

I wish that we weren't aiming nukes at ours.
