How many of you think that putting feet on the ground in Iran is inevitable? I had this same discussion on another discussion board. I think that it will happen eventually.
I think that if, IF, the US does go in and they do want to be successful, it cannot be handled the same way as Iraq. Our military is not designed as an occupying and rebuilding force.
Basically, the entire operation would be us removing the government in power and allowing the people to rebuild. The difference with Iran over Iraq is the the people in Iran. A majority of them have experience western culture and prefer it over the current regime.
