Newton's Third Law
An interesting point from journalist Dahr Jamail on tonight's Flashpoints radio which I hadn't heard expressed quite so clearly. Just as the U.S. has (reportedly) hundreds of locations in Iran targeted with bomb or missile strikes, so too Iran has hundreds of missiles targeted on American sites in Iraq (e.g., American bases), ready to be launched in response to any U.S. attack.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The laws of physics (and of politics!) must be obeyed!
(The Newton's Third Law analogy is mine, by the way, not Dahr's.)
