That reads like a Tom Clancy novel. Time to bring back Sean Connery. In all seriousness though, if the Iranians land on Gaza that's going to give Israel carte blanche to do whatever the hell it wants, with international support. The US can't help but be dragged into it, if not for the obvious ties to Israel then due to our already sizable military presence in the area (Iraq). Complete agreement about the Kurds, they were rocking out pretty well in Northern Iraq, I think they need to regroup there and call it a civilization. NK never misses an opportunity to fire off some weapons-grade stupid, so expect them to throw some kind of tantrum.
