This really is a complex situation. The US is already involved in two theaters, and trying to keep an eye on places like North Korea (possibly the competition for "World's Most Dangerous Nation"). I think it would be dangerous for the US to become involved militarily. We already have many troops in Iraq and Afganistan. Attacking Iran would give them the opportunity to invade (or at least try to) Iraq. They could incite a lot of terrorist activities...yes they already do, but more so if the US attacked. Israel is under pressure not to do much in the way of military action, in general. If they took out Iran's plant, they would create a political and idealogical firestorm.
My worry is that Iran uses its nuclear capability as political leverage, while selling some to terrorists. Meanwhile, North Korea may get its own ideas.
OR...
Iran forces the world to act...with the US at the front of the line...and breeds more reasons for terrrorists to attack. PLUS destabilizing the entire Middle East. If Iran causes another war, they have the potential (in my fairly uneducated opinion) to severely hurt the industrialized world.
It's obvious that they don't have the military power to win a conflict, but their location and ideaology (sp?)gives them quite a bit of leverage.
Just a few thoughts.
