So really, it's just Iran.

The question is, is it in America's interest to participate in that war?

And make no mistake, Israel wouldn't last three days in a war by itself against Iran.

In fact, probably not even 24 hours.

Israel's population centers would be taken out by Iran's conventional weapons.

And at that point, the Israeli government could either nuke Iran, starting a chain reaction that, you know, you can't really predict once it begins, or allow

hundreds of thousands of its own citizens, certainly tens of thousands, to be killed.

So Israel could not do it alone, and no honest person suggests or would suggest that it could.

It needs the United States.

So the question from the American perspective is, is it good for America to get involved in yet another Israel-inspired regime change war in the Middle East?

There have been quite a few, most notably Iraq.

Is that a good idea?

And so that debate began, and it mostly began behind the scenes.

It didn't sort of peek out into public view very often, but when it did, the people who wanted the regime change war against Iran almost, with almost zero exceptions, almost never admitted what they actually wanted, and they certainly never acknowledged what the debate was actually about.

It was about one nation's interest versus another nation's interest.

Do those interests...

convene?

Are they the same thing?

Or are they at odds with each other?

I can see why it'd be a good idea for Israel to want this.
