#3 Pakistan is more than just part of the problem. Pakistan IS the problem and definitely need some payback. And so do the Iranians - 36 years to fester and grow.

#5 The last I read, the US had permission to operate there. It's a show, and the administration is a sucker for partaking in it.

#6 A successful US-led war, occupation? agz IRAN all but removes the motive for Saudi Arabia + other anti-Iran, Sunni-majority Muslim States to go Nukulaar, BUT LEAVES ALREADY NUKE-ARMED PAKISTAN "AS IS" OR BETTER.

However, it still leaves the final decision on nukes in the hands of the various "ARAB SPRING" NEW PRO-ISLAMIST GOVTS, whom as a class are supported by Iran + Al-Qaeda + non-Muslim/Faith based Secular Political Movements.
