That guy in Iran is really off his rocker. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (say that 5 times fast), Iran's President, said today that "Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation. The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm." Last October he said Israel should be "wiped off the map."
Iran says that it should now be considered a nuclear power (and they're getting close) and that hating Iran will lead to your destruction.
A lot of people I know are just uninformed or disinterested, "We've already got a war, thanks." Sen. Joe Biden thinks it would be against our interests to confront Iran right now and calls it a "stupid mistake."
But I've been doing some reading about Iran and how they've acted in the last 27 years. It's scary. It's unreasonable and unpredictable. It's often against their own best interest, working under the assumption that Allah will intervene to bring success and that failures are just part of the Zionist conspiracy. Most startling is that some of the religious leaders in Iran believe that the world needs to end in order for Allah's plan to unfold further.
I'm personally hoping and praying that nothing happens, that cooler heads prevail, and we see relative peace with Iran for another 30 years. But if something terrible happens, I think a lot of uninformed Americans will wake up and say, "Iran? I didn't even know they were sore at us!" (a near quote from sailors in Pearl Harbor about Japan).
Let's pray this coming crisis is averted peacefully.

Well i Think you are right. I wish that Iran could wait, however the more i read, even today I feel there threat is strong. The muslims want Allahs plan to unfold, the zionists and christians are waiting for god to prevail, and the christians, think its the end of the world and that the antichrist is among us. Well I think that i just dont want to get nuked in my own house. How is that. Lets eradicate them, but lets do it right, effective and without fail. Lets not waste time with politics, lets drop the big bomb, and drill for our own oil through the glass that was once sand.
