I find this utterly terrifying:

It is believed that an American-led attack, designed to destroy Iran's ability to develop a nuclear bomb, is "inevitable" if Teheran's leaders fail to comply with United Nations demands to freeze their uranium enrichment programme.
...
The United States government is hopeful that the military operation will be a multinational mission, but defence chiefs believe that the Bush administration is prepared to launch the attack on its own or with the assistance of Israel, if there is little international support. British military chiefs believe an attack would be limited to a series of air strikes against nuclear plants - a land assault is not being considered at the moment.

I don't think nuclear Iran is a great step forward for the world, but it might not be all bad, and I kind of think it's inevitable that more nations will get the bomb. You can't stop knowledge. And really, Iran is much less batshit crazy as a State Actor as compared to, say, North Korea. They're not on the cusp of anything anyway, and there's plenty of time to work this all out.

On the other hand, if this reportage from Britan is even remotely accurate, we're on the cusp of something much more awful. A US-led attack on Iran would have disasterous consiquences, starting with an enormous shitstorm coming down next door in Iraq, and ending who knows where. If it's a US/Israel show, then you can bet on open warfare and chaos throughout the region for the for the forseeable future.

We do not want to do this.
