The reaccuring theme I seem to see here is that 'Iran with nukes is bad' and 'America shouldn't attack Iran'.
Now I can't see how the two fit together...I agree, Iran with nukes is not going to be a good thing for its neighbours or (in the long term) the western nations, but I sincerely doubt that the EU waggling its finger at Tehran is going to do much.
Now, I'm not a person to advocate war, to be honest with you I'd prefer it if we didn't go in and stir up trouble...but...who else is going to? Like it or not we've got so far into this whole Midden Eastern mess that there is no easy way out, there is no chance of just saying 'Right, screw you guys I'm going home.", and I can't help but think that peace is something that's just not going to happen...no matter who you appease, and no matter who you bomb...there'll always be the religious zealots who declare death to the infidels...likewise there will always be those who retaliate in kind.
Religion is an extension of human nature, what you take from it depends on who you are and what you think. Use it for war or for peace.
However, two things I am sure on, now and forever...using nukes to stop nukes is crazy and hypocritical, and a ground war in Iran isn't going to be a pretty sight. What this leaves...I couldn't tell you...I don't work for the Pentagon...
