The fundamental problem between the US and Iran right now is that there are NO good options. It does not matter whether you are talking about nukes, regime change, or whatever silly thing lame duck president Ahmadinejad uttered this week. This is the reality of the situation. So, no matter how much the Likudniks want to push the "imminent" Iran threat and float the idea of an airstrike, an attack on Iran would be a disaster for the US, a disaster for Israel and create a mess in the region that would make the last ten years look like a quaint little conflict.
I have not posted around here much lately, but the insanity of this new policy push just drops my jaw. I don't think much of Brzezinski's advice to Carter when he headed NSC, but even he pretty succinctly can put forth the counter-rationale to the most recent neo-con/Likud blitz to gain support for insane action.
