"I believe Israel will handle this before anybody does.
Israel surely isn't going to sit there and let the
irrelevant UN pass 14 meaningless resolutions before
they end up doing nothing!"
I think you're right. I would find it hard to believe there's NO WAY Bush can start another pre-emptive move right now.
Sitting back and waiting for Israel to make the first move and then backing them up seems like the smart move to me. That, he could do.
Troops are so conveniently right next door too.
Three points of concern however, the first two being Russia and China.
Lastly, and maybe the most immediate threat I see may be Syria. I firmy believe that Saddams WND's ended up in Syria. Iran knows this and may feel they have a surprise ace up thier sleeve with them.
Iran and Syria have very strong ties, thier common goal, and terrorist organizations.
Within the last 2 weeks the madman from Iran visited Syria, no doubt to discuss this.
As for the Israelis, they would attack Iran in a second, that is if they had the capability and they don't unless they launch nuclear armed ballistic missiles.
They don't have the planes capable of taking enough regular ordinance to do sufficient damage to Iran's fortified, underground installations that are widely dispersed.
When it's over, Iran will be a bit more agreeable and everyone else will be a bit more anxious to take out the Iranian sites.
