Agreed!!! We can handle any nasty they want to try, but occupation, NO. We could do it, but we really have nothing to gain & a lot to lose. Most important, losing our men & women in the armed forces unnecessarily. More global bad will. How about we kick ourselves, Congress & the new President in the butt & reduce our reliance on oil. The technology & the sources are there. Big Oil likes it that we don't hammer them enough.
Just my humble opinion.
