List the Pros and Cons of attacking Iran

[Sauron]

I'll start

Con
Gas prices will double overnight.

[d brooks]

Con- We dont have the large amount of ground troops avaliable to complete a sound rebuilding process

[Octavian]

Pro


If you have smart money in companies like Tesoro and Valero and a few others that are gasoline wholesale distributors, you will make a pile of money because those are the entities that will skim of the top of the inflated prices.



Con

We will find out very quickly about how advanced Iran's nuclear capabilities are, though it's fairly certain considering the degree to which we can monitor such progress.

Con

We are still in Iraq. Would Iran invade Iraq and pledge a full on assault? or would a conflict be primarily see-air.


Invading Iran would be a preposterous undertaking at this point. What happens if we break Iran and in doing so, open up a massive power vacuum, much like Iraq? Should we stay for an extended time there too? What extent would such a conflict be waged? So many uncertainties to the entire situation.

con:

iran will keep its aids cure a secret.

I take it you are referring to that documentary about Iran's youth and the thread about it. For one thing, the youth is far from the majority and for another thing, I most certainly did not even remotely write or infer that.
