The Iran Attack

That would be suicide for Iran. Iran would not be so bold as to bomb the hell out of Iraq just to get to a few Americans. It would outrage the Muslim world that Iran would be so daft. Iran's best way to fight the US and Israel is the way they've been doing -- by fighting a proxy war -- supplying the insurgency with an unending supply of arms, just like the Russians did to the US in Vietnam, just like the US did to Russia in Afghanistan.Secondly, even if the entire US force in Iraq was disintegrated, it would not be catastrophic to the US military. It would be of grave concern, of course, but the shift of power would not be so utterly imminent, as you seem to be tacitly suggesting.The US has the foresight to not place all of its troops in one location. To do so would be one of the biggest military blunders I can think of. There are still massive forces not in Iraq, particularly Trident subs, which could destroy the world 7 times over even if the rest of the United States lay in ruins. Trust me when I say that the US has thought of all these scenarios in advance. Hell, NORAD actually drew up a scenario where commercial planes hit skyscrapers long before it actually happened. (Too bad their scenario in this instance didn't seem to teach them anything constructive)Supposing Iran really were that idiotic, their entire civilization would be incinerated in a flash retribution via intercontinental ballistic missiles. Since their entire military is centrally located, it would be to their folly to ever try something like that.Remember what the US did to Japan for Pearl Harbor? It would be infinitely worse for Iran.Unless of course a democrat is in office during that time, in which case the US would promptly surrender and the government would issue out Qur'ans and keffiyeh.That was joke, because as we all know Hillary would rain down fire from heaven.

But the world would be approving of Iran nuking Iraq, thus taking out two of its enemies -- Iraqis and American soldiers? This was your bizarre scenario where Iran bombed the hell out of its own neighbor. The fallout comes from your own scenario, yet someone America could not retaliate when I answer said scenario.Then you tell me what America would or should do in the event that Iran firebombed Iraq, killing all of its troops stationed there.
