...israel and the neo-cons aren't really concerned about a "threat" from Iran, no more than the Pentagon is worried about a "threat" from al-quada.

that's just a convenient pre-text, which provides the cover story.


Thus, to look at Iran "crisis" as something that should be defused with diplomatic, or whatever, solutions, is to accept, a priori, the neo-con/israel thesis that Iran is a belligerent.

there is little evidence for this (they are trying desperately to manufacture it, in the gulf & elsewhere, to no avail)

To understand why neo-cons want military attack on Iran, you must look deeper. it has zero, absolutely zero, to do with Iran's threat. it is quite similar to the non-threat of Iraq, which was played up to the hilt.
