The problem with that approach is that there is a goodly portion of the Iranian citizenry that would like nothing better than to have the Islamic extremists disappear and go back to a more western lifestyle. I had a delightful Iranian Air Force Captain in my class at Squadron Officer School - but he was "one of the Shah's men". He probably didn't survive the Islamic takeover. There were about a half-dozen Iranian officers in my staff school at Keesler at the time of the overthrow of the Shah. They were great guys but were very concerned about their future when they returned. If it were only those experiences I might write it off, but when I was sitting at an outdoor cafe in Seoul, Korea in 1988 we struck up a conversation with a group at another table who spoke English but were obviously not American. When we asked them where they were from they said "Iran......unfortunately". That one statement said a lot.

It may be that those who pooh-pooh our support of Israel will have a significant amount of crow to eat if the little tinhorn dictator overdrives his headlights and provokes a response. If so, it will not be pretty. Israel understands something that apparently we have forgotten: to survive one must fight.
