#1 Frankly, with dollar deflation and the spectacle of jihad support issuing from our nominal GWOT allies - Pakistan and Saudi Arabia - intervention appears unlikely. Unthinkable but unlikely.

Looks like our grandchildren will face down Ayatollah ICBMs because we overspent nation builidng in places where nation destruction was a better option.

#6 McZoid, it was not. The dividend of Iraq is not apparent, but it will be in he future. It was the right call at the right time.

Iran s different story. We simply can't shift the burden on our children/granchildren. Not sure how, but we have to deal with it... where there's will, there's way.

#7 The dividend of Iraq is not apparent, but it will be in he future. It was the right call at the right time.

Even if that "dividend" never materializes, invading Iraq was—as David D. has noted—something we hade to do so that we could at least tell our children and grandchildren, "We tried." Much more nastiness awaits the MME (Muslim Middle East). The vast majority of it they will have brought upon themselves. The catastrophic disassembly of Iran's nuclear R&D effort is but a small foretaste of what awaits the entire region.
