War is costly. If you have any doubts, take a look at our experience in Iraq and Afghanistan: over $1.3 trillion spent and more than 8,000 lives lost, for shaky security gains. And then there are the unintended consequences: loss of international credibility, regional instability, and more.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the Iran debate, the potential consequences of war are often lost in the shuffle.
