I am just getting on the record here. This will not be any long post or rhetoric. Please feel free to check past posts if that is what you are looking for.
There is some stuff in South America we need to keep an eye on, but I think many of us can agree that Iran may indeed be a problem capable of focusing us (the world) on an issue.
I will not say that Iran should not have the bomb. I will say that I wish NOBODY had the bomb and I am against anybody new being allowed access. As it is however Iran is next in line. The current powers that be and the powers in the region who want to continue to be may very well use this HUGE GLOBAL FEAR as a basis to at least temporarily start aiming in the same direction.
There is no good war. In a reasonable world there would be no need for war. We do not live in a reasonable world. I think however we are going to start seeing America as well as Sunni and insurgents powers and Israeli as well as basically everyone except Iran leaning together towards what they consider to be a reasonably agreed upon enemy.
Nothing makes peace as fast as a common fear. All things come from fear.
