Here's the thing, Curly: Iran was pathetically weak and posed no threat to us. They hardly posed a threat to Israel.

Their air force was pathetic. Their navy was worse.

Iran had not attacked any of its neighbors since before there was a United States.

They are taking a major pounding...and fighting back asymmetrically. That's what it can do. IEDs, drones, mines.

They were not some kind of evil colossus.
