Reply #20: Depends on what they hit [View All]

Some things are legitimate military targets, most aren't. If Iranian agents start setting off IEDs, blowing up military and National Guard convoys, then that's legitimate. If they start bombing church picnics, then that's not legitimate.

If we start bombing their infrastructure because it's "supporing the Iranian military", they can legitimately return the favor. Gas and oil pipelines, telephone exchanges, whatever. Maybe try to drop the Verrazan Bridge into the water and block off New York Harbor, or the Golden Gate to block off San Francisco Harbor.

Or blow up a natural-gas supertanker in a harbor. Sabotage our air-traffic control system. Tons of stuff.

Read "The Enemy Within" by Larry Bond for some good examples.
