I've walked around there with a redneck american flag t-shirt and everybody wanted to talk to me and be my friend. That being said if there were to be some sort of military attack i'd hope for the best of the people there and I have a feeling it would go much smoother than the other 2 operations.
IMO I don't see Obama doing anything about it, but he isn't necessarily going to be around much longer.

This it is sad to see that people label an entire country as backwards and sabre rattling just because of an insane dictator. Almost every single persian I have met has been extremely polite and if I'm honest cool as hell to hang out with (hookah ftw).
I seriously doubt a war will break out, our country is starting to realize that our policy of post ww2 communism policing is costing us more than we can afford. We need to cut our military involvement in other countries and focus on defense not police action. Our country is war fatigued right now, if this war starts after the new election the president will have an extreme drop in public acceptance. We are just not ready for another war, mentally or financially.
