If what I've heard is correct, we have some level heads that hopefully will prevail. There was a quote attributed to bush that he wanted to launch an attack vs. Iran because he didn't trust future presidents to do what he perceived to be the right thing.

But generals in the Pentagon have pointed to all their war scenarios they've drawn up about Iran. Everyone of them points to massive, massive amounts of casualities.

Not something you want to get yourself into lightly, without far more evidence that you have no other options.

>>>Or worse, what if Iran says "we like this preemptive war ideology - we'll adopt it, the West really has some good things to offer" and just does the same?
>>
>>The sooner we attack the better, we should start a preemptive war to prevent a preemptive war.

>Seriously, I'd bet money that that type of logic is in heavy use in Washington these days.
