The best time to engage Iran militarily

From my writing, it is obvious that Iran has been on my mind a lot lately. One of the things at the forefront of my mind has been, "what are the potential costs of trying to wait out Iran," and the potential costs always tell me it is better to do the unpalatable now rather than later. Military action against Iran is a stomach turning thought, though, so it leads into another question on my mind, which is, "when would we have the lowest potential cost to deal with the Iranian mullahocracy militarily?" I think I've finally come to a conclusion on that question.

1979.

Not that we can do much about that now. Thanks for the stellar and courageous leadership, President Carter.
