We should be keenly aware that this is a very dangerous time in our effort to embargo Iran to the negotiating table. If they feel that there is an existential threat to their government they may decide that an attack would soften ours and our allies resolve. This is precisely what happened in the years leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We must have some means of walking our bravado back while asking ourselves exactly what Iran having nuclear capability would mean and what a ground war in the Middle East would entail. Our experience in Iraq should be highly informative to our decision making.
