If the US gets to whoop on Iran, do the terrorists get to slam a few more planes into some building first...? Or will it be their turn to 'retaliate' for the aggression?
Stupid comparison.

a) NK has nukes that in no way can hit Israel or oil the US can grab.

b) Iran is near Israel and has oil.

How simple is that?
