So how do we then deal with the nuclear showdown that Iran is forcing upon us right now?
Far as I can see we have 2 large military forces in countries on their borders (Iraq and Afghanistan). Looks like we have a pretty good situation should an invasion be needed. If Syria steps out of line too far we could let Israel handle that, use British forces in Iran, and we'd be ok I think. Means I would get activated, but you know what, might even be worth it.
