When you see somebody swinging the barrel of his rifle at your direction, you have time to decide what to do - that time he needs to complete the movement. But you better have done something BEFORE he has trimmed it on you. Because if he has completed the movement, then it is too late.
Really want to bet money on that he will interrupt and stop in mid-movement? With the nuclear destabilization of THAT region and a worse and far more unpredictable and instable nuclear arms race then the cold war being at stake!? And dealing with a regime that actively funds terrorism, transports it to other countries, and is engaged with own special forces ion its neighbouring countries?
Or when the first mushroom cloud raises after a terror strike on a Western city, carried out by some Islamic group. One could still argue that until the attacker does not admit it, it only has been a "mistake", no intention.
And that Iran, this notorious trouble maker, becomes untouchable and can do what it wants (see NKorea) once it got the bomb, and this with
that record of confessed intentions and ambitions - that it can blackmail and stay immune at the same time means little to you, becasue there is no evidence,. black on white, eh?
Come to your senses. This is the real world, no abstract office. Bad stuff has happend so often in history without any evidence beign given in advance. Bad stuff happening without evidence is possible, and proven to happen by empiric experience. You can known, if only you want, what Iran is about and what they want, and that it is a conflict with the Sunni that leads far beyond Israel and the confrontation with Europe and the US and the modern present. Stop denying that unwelcomed historic facts. Start to add one and one together. See if you can manage to get another result than two without bending the laws of maths.
People are so eager to make the most absurd distortions in thinking just to avoid at all cost the conclusion that they must accept the chance of a confrontation. Its called:
being intimidated. And intimidation makes oneself weaker, and the aggressor ever stronger.
