5. It's good that he points out that the Pentagon is discussing...
after we bomb Iran we would need to send troops in, and where are the troops supposed to come from? Estimates are that after we bombed the hell out of Iraq in the first Gulf War, over 100,000 civilians died in the aftermath. But, of course, we were able to blame that on Saddam. Are we prepared to handle another humanitarian crisis on that order? Also, where was the outrage? Perhaps that is some of what we are now witnessing in Iraq.

This will not help to end terrorism in the long run, but it could ultimately bring about the end of the United States.
