I have my doubts, however, that a preemptive strike would not be the choice. Sorry , a typo. Should be: I have my doubts, however, that a preemptive strike would be the choice. Taro

Taro, the MOST likely scenario is this. The World won't back any military move, unless 100% indisputable evidence is presented by a party not related to the US. As such, Iran will mostly likely acquire nuclear weapons and then won't perform any tests, just like North Korea did. That way they get the protection of nuclear weapons without getting attacked. North Korea has shown the way. Then Iran will start to play all sorts of blackmail games, just like North Korea does. However, Iran has a huge terrorist network they can tap. Therefore, this starts to take on a whole new dimension for the West, because the nexus of terror and nukes is one that will cow many Western nations into bowing before nuclear blackmail. Add this to the fact that Iran already has leverage with their oil-based blackmail and now we will be faced with a truly powerful Iran. The ONLY thing that will ensure the above scenario doesn't play out is a pre-emptive strike to take out all of their nuclear facilities. Them's the ugly facts ma'am.
