After Afghanistan and Iraq, Iran will pretty much be surrounded from.... every direction.
Is an invasion of Iran likely?

Nah...
I dont think the US is that serious with this war. Maybe after another hit or two they'll finally understand who the enemy is."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal. -
No invasion of Iran. The people have a taste of representative government, they should be able to affect the change needed to get rid of the Ayatollah."Let us kill the English! Their concept of individual rights could undermine the power of our beloved tyrants!"

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Iran hasn't done anything especially bad, and they have a better democracy going than their Arab neighbours. Their relations with America were warming up but they were rewarded with inclusion in the Axis of Evil speech. They don't deserve invasion, and anyway, American casualties would be pretty high, considering the terrain, population and fanaticism.Comment

Actually I see no basis for attacking Iran unless they are actively harboring or financing terrorists and refuse to cooperate with the United States in shutting down the terror camps or in ending the financing. Whether or not they are seeking to acquire nuclear weapons is, in my view, an insufficient reason to attack. Iran, in contrast with its neighbor Iraq, has not attacked any neighbor nor actually employed weapons of mass destruction -- indicating that these weapons more than likely are in fact weapons of the last resort. It is clear, in contrast, that with Iraq, weapons of mass destruction are preferred -- at least when there are no military or political consequences to their use.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

So... why did Bush include Iran in his speech in the first place?! Is it simply a case of imbecility?Poor silly humans.

Iran is the single biggest exporter of terrorism in the Middle East. Don't know what Sandman is talking about.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Well if that is true, why is Iraq the preferred target? And why has the media ignored this fact?Originally posted by DanS

Iran today declared a fatwah against an American. Guess who? Yup, it's Jerry Falwell. I wonder if they will start throwing planes or car bombs? Jerry owns his own private college, they might hit that or his church."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

Different country, different tactics. Encouraging democracy is a cheap and easy (and probably quick) method of getting our way in Iran.

Because Saddam has the history of trying to conquer territory from neighbors."Let us kill the English! Their concept of individual rights could undermine the power of our beloved tyrants!"

Iran provides various amounts of funding and weapons for Palestinian terrorist groups. This gives Israel a casus belli for limited air strikes and whatnot, but doesn't justify a U.S. invasion.
There's the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, but they've not taken any action against him on a government level. Although, the bounty has not been revoked.
Wasn't Falwell the one calling for a crusade against Islam? If so, then he should expect this sort of thing.Comment
