No matter how often and faithfully you pound the Iran war drums, Nadine, the odds are against it. Unless you can find the troops hidden away somewhere. If you and Israel really wanted an Iran war that badly, you should have thought of that sometime during the years you spent pounding the Iraq war drums.

"If Iran were democratic, we could feel fairly sure that some lone nutcase wouldn't set it off as part of some apocalyptic vision." Is Pakistan "democratic"? Is China? Is Russia? Besides, as General Abizaide has pointed out, the US could live with a nuclear Iran - it's Israel that's got the unjustified heebie jeebies.
