I figured out the whole Iran thing

So let me get this straight about the US and Iran.
Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.  No, it is not.
Iranian aggression (e.g. closing Hormuz) is bad for Iran.
Iran won’t do it anyway (but might attack Iraqi oil facilities instead).
The US should attack Iran. If not, the US will be seen as weak.
The US should not attack Iran.  An illegal, unprovoked attack would raise the proliferation risk. A war with Iran will weaken the US.
Diplomacy still has a chance. Diplomacy is appeasement. Isolate Iran, pressure works. Sanctions are a bad idea and could cost Obama and the global economy. Pressure leads to escalation. (The economic war is underway. Or not.)
Obama kept all options on the table. So did Romney. But the US has decided to attack as a last resort. Or never.
And we have not even talked about Israel yet.
