An analogy and an axiom.


Axiom: History shows that the side that prevails in war is not always the one that can deliver greater punishment to the adversary but the one that can absorb the most punishment and keep on fighting. The US is an instant gratification, short attention span culture with a low social pain threshold and technology fetish, especially when it comes to gadgets, weapons and war-fighting (which feeds into the other cultural traits). Iran is fighting an existential defensive war of attrition in and from its ancestral homeland against the US and its regional (Arab and Israeli) allies, including the pariah state.
