I believe evidence is rapidly mounting that this could really be it — Israel could be just days or weeks away from a massive preemptive strike against Iran. I believe there are significant changes in the way Israeli leaders are speaking about the possibility of war. One fact that has particularly caught my attention in the last 24 hours is that Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon is telling reporters that it is time for the world to admit that diplomacy has not worked, and that Iran only has “weeks” and not “months” to cease nuclear activity.

I have been watching all of this fairly closely since the beginning of the "talks".
I have yet to come to a conclusion on who is in the right on this entire thing. The MSM constantly tries to paint a dirty picture of the people of Iran, so it is difficult to gain full in-sight into what exactly is going on.
All I can say at this point is that I hope, for the citizens' sake, that Israel does not strike any time soon.
300,000 people were just hit right where it hurts with the 2 quakes last week, and their own government "seems" to be failing them.

I think it's in Israel's best interest to wait....and the Arab's best interest to hit sooner, if anyone were to ask me. If Romney wins, Israel is in a MUCH better position than they are now and it's not long to wait for them. By the same token, at the moment, the U.S. may stay back or be ineffective in the response where under Romney, the response may be swift and just over-the-top.
So... in a war both sides seem to want and even need in some real ways....The game of timing would seem tp favor Israel waiting just another few months. Unless there is some pressing thing they see that no one else does.
(There is prophecy though, isn't there?? No matter how hard events try and break away from the path, we always seem to snap back to it, huh? )

We're still playing like Iran or Syria or any of the others are acting in isolation? I'm looking at this the way it seems to be shaping up....a repeat of multiple nations aligned against them. So.... Iran IS Persian, but once this war starts, I don't think Non-Israeli's (To cover everyone with an interest) will much care who they're throwing in with, given who they hate above all others.
Just my thoughts..and I was tossing on my two cents with the topic being the start of World War III possibly being weeks away. I mean, the first on any side to fire in a real way here and it all goes up. Like a baby playing with matches in a dynamite factory.

Ahmadinejad is a nut job. I tend to go with sane people. Just saying...basing things off cars and mansions is a stretch. I don't want anything to do with someone who denies the holocaust happened.
