even the neo-cons know that they can't afford any widening of the conflict.
Any military action would be completely outside the UN mandate for sanctions against Iran. The carefully worded resolution on sanctions proscribed any military action without further authorisation from the security council. This is not a matter for conjecture, it is simple fact.
If the USA attacks Iran the sanctions will fail because the Bush administration will have ignored the UN (again) and will isolate America even more than it is now. This means that N. Korea will not be the only nation cocking a snook at the US. Everyone and their dog will start treating the US like a comedy superpower.
