At the end of the day after years of war the majority of the American people, just like at the end of the Vietnam war, are sick and tired of war and wont support this type of action again for a good few years.[/b]
I don't necessarily think the United States is concerned with this-- because they have not only been able to use certain "claims" to their advantage but to use them to fuel the war on terror, which it is certainly what they will continue to do, especially in regards to Iran and North Korea.

I dont think they will invade on the ground, more likely to be an air strike on nuclear facilities thus causing an Iranian chernoble
Likely-- however, it seems evident that how the US and UK choose to carry this out will be determined by how they can use it for their advantage to fuel the war on terror further to secure the ruling class' interests.

That is what i thought would be the likely scenario!
But would'nt that be what the leadership of Iran wants as it could unify the majority of Iranians against the Americans, thus giving more support to the Iranian leadership which has not been in the majority of it's people good books with rising fuel prices amongst other things, and could result in Iran launching an all or nothing offensive into Afghanistan and Iraq!
The Iranians will already have the help of their allies the Shi'ite militia forces in Iraq and this could result in the Americans being forced to breaking point in the middle east?
If that was the case, the US and UK would use it as a way to recruit blind sleep into going to war to fight for their bourgeois states-- possibly even impose a draft.
That is what seems the US is attempting to do in regards to North Korea-- insisting that North Korea is transfering nuclear weapons to the Middle East. That is the same thing they are arguing in regards to Iran. If anything, their actions in regards to Iran will likely be based upon the such intention-- so the way they choose to carry it out may in fact not even be influenced by the result-- but that they could use it as a ploy to gain support for the war so they can secure their efforts in attaining their bourgeois interests.
At a high cost...thousands of Iranian would be infected by radiation and scare the nation for generations. But as you said it wold unify the people.
Im opposed to Americas persence in the region, and as much as i respect their rigt to self-determination the si'ite forces and others are reilgious fundamentalist and would dangerously fuse the state with religion.
Regardless, the US and UK may use the result(s) of the such to secure their presence in the region-- it may not be determined by the actual results but how they could go about using these results to their advantage in securing their own bourgeois interests as well.
