While it is generally assumed that in a face-off, the US 5th Fleet would crush the Iranian Navy, it was just this same kind of logic the Philistines had when Goliath was struck down. We will need to be on guard. This could open a second front in the War on Terrorism; using asymmetric means to retaliate against an outside military hegemony (America). Even when the US obliterates the ability of Iran to project a challenge in convention fashion, it could be a catalyst for the underground Islamic World to adopt the plight of Iran --- in sympathy.
