I didn't count the Civil war, since it was in our own borders.
From that Washington POst article:
"There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said."
The dumbest thing that Iranians could do would be attack
inside the USA, because that is just the sort of thing that makes US citizens unite in their cause. Right now everything occurs in some far off land called "the middle east" where we only have to see a few news stories at 6pm. If the threat gets to close to our front doors, I'm sure the terms "Democrat" and "Republican" will take a back seat to "American".* We can accomplish a lot when we are divided, but when we unite in the US we do have the ability to kick tail.

The use of the term "American" to represent residents of the United States of America is not meant to diminish the fact that Canadians to the north and all those to the south of the U.S.A. are not also American.
