Time running out for Israeli-Iranian showdown?

I'm sure Israel can take care of itself unless they get declared war on by all sides again, I just hope the US does not get involved, the US has so much on its plate already that opening up a new front is just gonna tear the military apart.

And what IF Iran didn't have nearly the nuke capabilities that the world thought they had, its gonna be a repeat of Bush's WMD in Iraq incident, especially if the US got involved. And even if the US did not get involved, as the article points out, as an ally of Israel, Iran and maybe other countries will see it as further western aggression and take it out on the west anyway.

It's unfortunate that negotiations are failing but judgeing by the events in the middle east lately and current oil prices, war out there will effect the whole world both who are involved in the conflict and those who aren't.

I say if the UN can't stop this from starting, chalk that up as another failure for the UN, wasn't it created to stop these kind of things from happening in the first place?
