I do not believe the leadership of Iran is that crazy. If we don't act, we are betting NYC that they are not.

No doubt about your last point - there is little public support for a war with Iran. That's just about the last thing the public wants in fact. The average person has enough problems.... Ands it made worse by the possibility that such a war could well affect our own shores. Iran isn't Afghanistan or Iraq. They would hit back much harder. Bush didn't attack Iran IMO because of this political calculus - just too scary and costly. And Obama wants to follow suit for the same reasons. But my guess is that we won't be given a choice at the end of the day. There is an inexorable slide towards war going on. it's like Europe in the 1930s.
