The "war card" is simply letting Iran know that war is an option. Playing the war card, may be premature at this point, but Iran is entrenched in a pattern of defiance. the question is, what do we (all nations concerned) do about it?

with the potential of exploding inside Iraq (whose majority is more favorable to Iran than the US) as well. Is that really what you want?
I want Iran to discontinue its nuclear weapons research and development.

Absolutely, more talk...but not with Iran...but with EU, Russia and China.

Whats the rush to war, ace?
My view of negotiations is that you have to have leverage. I don't "rush" to use the leverage, but it is important for all parties to know what the leverage is in order to come to a "win-win" solution.

There is no intel that suggests Iran is anywhere near close to having the capacity to threaten its neighbor (Israel) or us.
What security clearance do you have? How do you know? If you do know, why would you post the information here?
