bring these factions under some sense of control down stream

It is hard for me to imagine ever bringing these factions under some sense of control while Iran is actively campaigning to create another middle eastern religious state. They are providing troops, training and money in both Iraq and Afghanistan. They are also providing a safe haven for insurgents flushed from Iraq. They are also thumbing there noses at us providing a psychological boost to terrorist throughout the World.
My thinking may be simplistic, but it seems the fate of the democracies in this region hinges on our ability to isolate or destroy the current Iranian government, and I'm not sure if the American people have the will to attempt this.
The Potus' original contention was to destroy any country that sponsors terrorism. I do not believe Iran's activity in this regard is a secret. If it's a question of WMD's, is there anyone who doesn't believe Iran has or shortly will have wmd's?
I was hoping that the recent adventure in Lebanon would spiral into an Iranian action. I seems as if Iran has become the kingpin in the area and needs to be knocked down before we can make any progress. It's like fighting the VN war without being able to go into Laos, North Vietnam or Cambodia.
Rant over.
