Of course, insulting other posters is really what you want to do here, so don't let facts come between you and that.

Yes, don't let facts come into play there, pal. You were in another thread yapping on and on about geo-politics (and you were outted which is why you ran away) and now you come into this thread, where geo-politics is the answer to your poorly thoughtout post, and now you try to dismiss the concept. You do not have to strike the heartland of America to make Americans feel pain. That's what you neo-cons fail to acknowledge.
America's addictions can be so easily used against her. The most painful thing the Iranians could do is to destroy the Iraqi oilfields, blockade the Straight of Hormuz (mine the hell out of it or sink a couple big ships in there), and then watch America shrivel on the vine as their oil dependency kills them. Do you have any idea what a $120 barrel of oil does to the American economy? Immediate depression. Iran could cripple America without landing a single shell on North America.
