Why they didn't think about cost & benefits when they attacked Iraq?
They did. They miscalculated the cost.
THREATS AND RESPONSES: THE COST; WHITE HOUSE CUTS ESTIMATE OF COST OF WAR WITH IRAQ - New York Times
The administration's top budget official estimated today that the cost of a war with Iraq could be in the range of $50 billion to $60 billion
This is one of the reason why United States is being very calculated when it comes to Iran. It has learned that costs of war can exceed the expectations---like it happened in Iraq.
However, it does not mean that America does not have military capacity to defeat Iran. It can easily inflict a total defeat to Iran.
Lastly, you didn't answer my question.
You said Iran has strategic weapons unlike Iraq which deter U.S invasion of Iranian mainland
Please, tell us, what strategic weapons Iran has?
What weapons Iran possess that can deter U.S military?
