> More significantly - the very fact that a nuke has not yet been dropped on Tehran is itself confirmation by the US military and government that they themselves do not feel the pros outweigh the cons otherwise it would have been done already. They surely understand more about the ramifications of such an act than anyone else...

Maybe so. At least there was a direct offense with the hostage situation. What would be our rationale for attacking them now? That we think they may be up to something? After what happened in Iraq it's going to be a while before I trust anything the intelligence community or this administration tell us. "Trust us" -- yeah, right. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me....

What will never make sense to me is the colossal arrogance of the U.S. continuing to have nuclear arms and going around telling other countries they can't.
