It's fucking musical chairs. My only hope of our avoiding a war with Iran is also part of my greatest fear: we don't realy have the troop strength or future borrowing capacity to launch such a war (that's the Hope part). But this makes it all the more likely that when we do the "surgical strike"--again with the assertions that it will all be over in weeks if not days--we will be pressed to the wall by an "unexpectedly fierce" response and the nuclear option will be all we have left. Americans are fond of stories in which average-guy-heros step up to save the planet from destruction, but the story we are about to get is one in which a few imbecilic/megalomaniacal/messianic shitheads manage to destroy all of the hopes any species on the planet ever had.
