I'm leaning about 80% towards the first alternative. There are effective steps short of war that can be taken, but they require essentially total cooperation by Europe and a lack of interference by China and Russia. Not going to happen.

BAD MOVE, W! “The US dropped its oppostion to the Egyptian proposal that the Middle East be a nuclear-free zone ”

Sure, that’s irrelevant…. until all the Arab governments, with the agreement of China and possibly Russia (I’m assuming that the Euro powers have gained a better understanding of Islamofascism) say “If you won’t enforce it on the evil Jooos, you can’t enforce it on us….” BAD MOVE, W!

I’m betting on “not much”.

If we talk the big talk and fail to pass any resolutions with teeth, actual force behind unmet deadlines, then I believe we will embolden not only the Iranians but North Korea and Syria. After the mostly unmeet expectations in Iraq and our apparent success on the WOT (measured by no further attacks on our homeland) I predict we will not have the political stomach to release the dogs of war one more time. Sadly, the danger posed by a nuclear Iran is manifestly greater than that of Iraq. Our failure to act on Iran may end up costing us dearly.
