As to the "threat" Iran would pose. We kicked Iraq's but in about 100 hours and they kicked Iran's but. So we'd most likely have to commit the Rhode Island National Guard. Personally I don't want armed conflict and put the chances of it happening right between slim and none, but if it comes to conflict, it must be a coalition.

That was Desert Storm in 1991. And what happened when we invaded Iraq in 2003? Over 140,000 hours later and we're still dealing with that shit.
