Well actually back in '79 Iran did attack US territory. We just failed to

actually, wasn't there a 'rescue operation' that failed miserably?
that looks like a response to me, even if the outcome is not what
you might have wished.

Yep. It was further punctuation of the lack of a creditable response to the
attacks against US citizens. They kept coming at us. Then you get 9-11.

I do not understand why Martin and some others can not see, that doing
nothing only encourages the attacks to continue, and escalate.

You want to stop a bully? Punch him in the nose. Keep hurting him, until
the cost to him is too high.

I've looked for the quote in the past - no luck.

Someone in the Israeli government, maybe Moshe Dayan:
'A Superpower should never mount a rescue operation with only six
helicopters.'

No that was a rescue operation. An appropriate response to an act of war
would have been, well, war.

Well, that would adhere to the _dictionary_ version of the word "response".
