8. Such a war would be a disaster.
It is very difficult to tell how much all these articles we have seen lately are saber-rattling, and how much indicates a genuine intent. Given that the tone of the articles is very similar to those that preceeded the Iraq war, I for one am worried.

I don't like the Iranian regime, but I also recognize that they themselves may feel highly threatened by the West, and by the nuclear capacity of Israel. I pray for someone with the wisdom to try to find a diplomatic way out of this escalation of rhetoric before it gets to the point of no return.

Recommended.
