Explain the rise in gas prices then.

We can do very devious things to Iran. Cut off the head and let the serpent wither for a while and then, with the help of others, say Israel, step in to help put things back together

There are only a couple of million to worry about, the rest are stone age people who cannot do anything to anyone.

We have sufficient reason. Iran has stated that they will destroy one of our allies, they will seek to destroy us. If that isn't sufficient then nothing is.

"Stone age" like a bunch of dudes living in caves? "Stone age" like a bunch of people living off the land in the wilderness? Kind of like. . . um. . . Al Qaeda? Just because they lack first-world indulgences hardly makes them a non-threat. I'd be very concerned about not making any move against Iran an excuse to creat a guerilla war / terrorism war on global proportions. If the mullahs can spin an attack/invasion successfully as a war on Islam then we'll be fighting suicide bombers and similar terrorist tactics for the next 200 years on a scale that'll make living in Israel look like a visit to Club Med.
