Blame Israel

You got that right, but America will have to take part. For Israel to sustain a war against Iran and Syria would be too much to ask of a country if 6 million. We need to recognize that this is our fight, that Iran and Syria are keeping us from achieving the results we desire in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that until these state sponsors of terrorism are gone, we will be cotinually under the gun. To say that we are overextended by our troop commitments elsewhere is to say "you are evil, but we lack the stomach to fight you". Iran is just biding time anyways until they get a nuclear capability and can unite Islam by wiping Israel off the map, then blackmail the west with submit or die rhetoric. We have the choice now that we had in 1936 and again in 1938...small war now or much bigger and more painful war later.
