"What she does not understand is consequences of bombing Iran."

For the US, Iran is not a threat. Iran with nukes is not a threat, as General Abizaid has pointed out, we could live with it.

For ISRAEL Iran is a worry, but not a real threat. Israel could glass over Iran. The Likudniks like Nadine are paranoid, and don't want to lose the leverage being the only nuclear power in the region provides. For Nadine, that answer is ALWAYS war.

Bombing Iran WOULD be a disaster for the US. The price of oil would skyrocket and it's availability might plunge, depending on what Iran did. It could cause a worldwide recession, if not depression, and the US is in no shape to fix it.
