But I thought we had totally annihilated all of their military resources.

thinks??? they might be being supported by others who sympathize secretly with them?

Because, as we know, those reporting would never - ever - not tell the truth.

As I already wrote, the "Iron Dome" in Israel seems not working properly anymore.
In Germany now somebody said "you can't bomb a dictatorship as the Iran into a democracy".
This is wrong. It was possible in WW2 with Germany and Japan.
Use proper weapons, that's all.

The OP posted as IRAQ the article begins with

Iranian cluster bombs​

is that an oops?

I don't think the US has forced an unconditional surrender since Japan. We have had lots of conflicts, but after the headiness of the bombing and invasion, it ceases to seem like the great idea we thought it was, and we withdraw, leaving the country to itself. As dedicated as the Japanese were to their divine emperor, we forced a culture change, but only after threatening total annihilation and only with the help of the emperor himself. I doubt Iran will be that easy. And in Japan it was not easy to begin with.

Administering a good ass kicking is not the same thing as teaching a society it is wrong. We don't know what's going to happen in Iran. Nobody knows. We will punish them, and maybe punish them good. But I'm not sure it's going to change significantly.

But who gets to define the success criteria? Iran was never going to match the US and Israel bomb for bomb.

You can't successfully bomb ideas.

Iran has been "close" to nuclear weapons for more than two decades.

Given the terrain of Iran (mountainous) there is talk of the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Irony?

No.

If a country develops without democracy, why is democracy an imperative? Especially given the attack on elections we're seen in the West.

It isn't, which was my point. My post was a commentary regarding a prior post from another member. I read in sequence before adding to any thread.

many of us are running theocracies - just depends which God(s) we are following?? England has a King ho ho who seems to have a close relationship with a God in the Church of England [is it?] - I know it's not Rome!
