Read it all. A good summary of possible actions to take against a recalcitrant Iranian Government. This will be THE big story over the summer, I think.

If military action takes place against Iran you will hear the familiar recycled talking points that the Dems used for the '04 election and Iraq:

Iran is not a threat, just like Saddam wasn't. Iran has nothing to do with terrorism, either. These people don't want freedom. We are only looking at excuses to get more oil for Bush, Cheney and Halliburton.

If there are military actions against Iran you can kiss the vastly pro-American populace goodbye and you can say hello to the greatest strategic foreign mishap in the history of the US.

This is not Iraq - this is vastly different country with a totally different ethnicity, culture, history and political leaning.

President Bush will not strike Iran b/c he has brilliant scholars surrounding him.

Well I think they should attack Iraq, first, with bombs, and rockets destroying their homes, and then when Iranian forces run helpless into the streets, mowing them down with machine guns and then of course releasing the vultures.

I know these views aren't popular, but I have never courted popularity.

What Are U.S. Military Options in Iran?

Staying out of their business and minding our own.

Our options are to stand of nuclear attack. Otherwise, we'll have this going on:

No more child games of war.

They left out "support and arm Iran's internal enemies," which is the cheapest and easiest way to bring down an enemy regime. We'd be fools to not be doing this already.
