I AM SURE OIL PRICES WILL FALL AND THE DOW JUMP WHEN IRAN HAS/USES NUKES. WHO WILL BE BLAMED FOR THAT? THE US ANYWAY SO I SAY LET THEM BLAME US FOR THE NON NUCLEAR OPTION.

That's not the issue. Bombing is the last resort and I don't believe we have reached that point.

Edward N. Luttwak: "Three reasons not to bomb Iran - yet"

I believe many of the reasons cited by Dr. Luttwak still obtain. The Iranians are trying to percipitate a strike to divert the Iranian people's attention from a failing economy and growing domestic dissatisfaction with a repressive regime. An attack now will result in unifying the people against a perceived external threat. We need regime change in Iran and that can be done in a number of different ways.

...growing domestic dissatisfaction with a repressive regime.

This is such nonsense. We've been hearing this for years and years and still nothing at all has come from it.

“That’s not the issue.” Funny thing, Iran shares your opinion.
