Is Iran Next?

I don't know how popular invading Cuba to rid them of Castro would actually be with the Cuban population. Certainly, there was no popular uprising during the Bay of Pigs attack. Rather to the contrary.

Castro overthrew a U.S. backed dictator whose Cuban supporters fled en masse to the United States where they have plotted and festered as "exiles" ever since. This is the big reason Cuban-Americans are so different from most other American Latino groups. Of course, this community is also a major source of hard currency for the Cuban economy...

In any event, if history is any guide, an American occupation would NOT be viewed as a liberation by a BIG chunk of the Cuban population.

One war of aggression at a time, please.

Shouldn't we be invading Afghanistan? Aren't they the ones that have been harboring Osama?

 

We twice invaded France and that didn't work so we'll not likely invade Afghanistan a second time.

 

I'm a little lost...we have quite a few troops in Afghanistan, both in the reconstruction and stability job, and in the fix, find, and destroy mission. It is the nature of the fight that proves rather difficult. The USA had a heavy reliance on sigint and elint (signal and electronic intelligence collection, and little in the way of humint, or human intelligence gathering) which has proved difficult once you toss the cell phones and find various ways to use the internet, etc. This has definitlely hurt us in the hunt for Osama.

because some rogue nation like Iran or Iraq would actually use it?

 

As the size of the club increases the chances for a nuclear confrontation increase as well. There are some countries that are just not reliable. Iran is one of them. If Iran gets nuclear weapons, begin learning the shahada.

 

Of course...the only country ever to actuall USE nuclear weapons in war was...the Unites States...

 

Oooo! What an INTERESTING question!

No idea!

Sometimes I feel like a "depleted cranium shell". Does that count?

 

I know that feeling. I get it way more than should be normal!

 

Cranium has a half-life of fifty years.
