DICK MORRIS (GUEST): I think the people strongly support denying Iran nuclear weapons and they deeply believe that that's happening. And whether Iran gets to change it's international combat, or we take over the Straits of Hormuz or not, these are minor concerns. The key thing to remember about this war is, except for a training accident really, nobody's died. We lost 58,000 men in Vietnam, we lost 47,000 in Korea, and we've lost zero so far, pretty much, in Iran.
