But seriously, if they weren’t trying to build WMD’s no one would be thinking of attacking Iran.

This tells me you haven’t paid attention to the history of Iran. You see, the CIA overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran back in 1953. The provocation? Iran nationalized their oil industry. Not every action America takes is over WMDs. Most of our actions in the Middle East deal with oil.

I recommend you research the details of that coup. You’ll find some very shady American and British actors, including the Lion himself, Winston Churchill, who was a big crybaby when Iran nationalized their oil production. See, Iran’s oil was managed by a certain company named British Petroleum. And Churchill had stock in BP. When Iran nationalized oil production, BP’s stock crashed, and Churchill whined like a mule to the Americans to do something about it.

If Iran could just learn how to lay low, they could be like Switzerland.

Ah, but if Switzerland had oil, they would be the ones in the spotlight. A sad fact of life.

Secondly, as far as the US never beating Iran? Seriously?

Did you even read my comment, or did you get flustered when I dared mention that America could actually lose? Here is what I said:

We cannot win a war against Iran without severe consequences.

Note the latter half of that? “Without severe consequences.” i.e. a war with Iran is not worth the cost. Clearly we are superior militarily and can wipe out their military capabilities. But it isn’t worth the cost (just like Iraq was not worth the cost).

Secondly, as far as the US never beating Iran? Seriously? The US would crush the Iranian military, it would not even be close. Winning? They could topple the regime, if you count the “chess” style win. More realistically, you seldom really win in those cases- but the US could easily break army and destroy the nuclear facilities. In modern war, stationary targets are pretty easy to take.
