Iran is way bigger and waaay more powerful than Iraq was even before the start of the first Gulf War. We *might* be able to take them on but only if we weren't bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan. I guess that doesn't mean we wouldn't try in the way that many empires when they begin to spread out over the whole world try to take on more than they can handle and end up spreading themselves too thin but if our leaders were smart and wanted to maintain their current position as world hegemon (or semi-hegemon) they wouldn't attempt such a thing. yeah that and the fact that Iran is NOT the kind of country we normally attack: they’re not a small, weak David to our Goliath.
