WHICH PATH TO PERSIA? Options for a New American Strategy toward Iran
#4
Things for train spotters (and war spotters) to look out for:

Quote:
a ground invasion of iran designed to overthrow
the government would be onerous but rather
straightforward. indeed, it would likely have con-
siderable parallels with the overthrow of saddam’s
regime in iraq and the taliban regime in afghan-
istan. Because the United states probably could
not mount the invasion using bases in any of
iran’s neighboring countries (discussed in greater
detail below), a U.S. Marine force would first have
to seize control of a regional port, after which the
United states could establish a logistical base and
build up its ground and air forces before embark-
ing on a “march” of several hundred miles north
to tehran.

A marine amphibious force. Funny that because I recently read a report on this forum stating that two US Marine amphibious task forces are in the region as we speak.

Probably coincidence.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
