BULL! We have AQ Khan who provided a nuclear warhead blueprint to Iran and the cascades to manufacture that warhead and the operations of those cascades away from IAEA accounting - ALL VIOLATIONS OF THE NPT to which Iran has signed and has refused to withdraw from. LEARN THE FACTS!

I believe your problematic anger stems from within America's hypocritical standards. Contrary to the work of Khan, the CIA has outdone everybody in giving Iran the blueprints to build these bombs.
The Russian, who had defected to the US years earlier, still couldn't believe the orders he had received from CIA headquarters. The CIA had given him the nuclear blueprints and then sent him to Vienna to sell them - or simply give them - to the Iranian representatives to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
George Bush insists that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. So why, six years ago, did the CIA give the Iranians blueprints to build a bomb? | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited

Cite the International Law, Treaty, or Agreement to which this illegal. I CHALLENGE YOU NOW. FIND IT. PROVIDE IT. And don't you dare bring up Anan, he NEVER had the authority to decide.

It's rather simple, really, and the commotion through your caps lock is very distasteful and unnecessary. The only way a way can be "legal" through today's standards is if it meets these two demands: it is a direct retaliatory response to an attack (which Iraq wasn't - Afghanistan allegedly was); or, the war is authorized by the United Nations (which it wasn't). Failing to qualify for either standard, one can only say the war was completely illegal.

And that is EXACTLY THE BULLCRAP I EXPECT! The US has far more tanks, far more artillery, far more guns, far more bombs than Iran will ever have AND THAT MAKES ALL OF IRAN'S numbers AND your claim ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS!

They said that about 'Nam, remember? And you really shouldn't be so dependent on limited thinking. Iran doesn't need to have top tier military weaponry or technology; the street thugs in Iraq has caused the "strongest" country in the world to be subject to global humiliation, hundreds of billions of dollars, and a crumbling economy.

On the contrary, it is as strong as ever, just as it was strong after the Vietnam War, just as strong as the Soviets were after the Soviet-Afghan War. You are an ABSOLUTE amateur in this. In order for the US to lose the Vietnam War and the USSR to lose the Soviet-Afghan War, both Vietnam and Afghanistan had to lose their wars up front (ie, suffer an invasion). You will note that neither Moscow cross the Fulda Gap after the Vietnam War nor did the Chinese marched north after the Soviet-Afghan War and the Iranians are too damned scared to cross the Iraqi border right now.

You seem to think that the sole purpose of Iran (or any anti-American movement) is to defeat the US's military. We recognize America's firepower, but also recognize how incompetent their holders are. While you are killing men with outdated Russian rifles, they are killing your soldiers and your economy. Losses through war come in many shapes and size; lives are not the only thing America is losing right now.

HORSE PUCKEY! Check your history. Guerrilla warfare only wins when they outbleed the enemy and they can never outbleed the enemy in their own home. Hell, they never even got to the enemy home.

Seems to be a plan that's functioning rather well, if I do say so myself. The US is embarrassing itself - so much so that, other nations are being spoken over America for the title of superpower.
