As far as I can tell, this is the first time America and not just Israel has proposed that sanctions and diplomacy have failed in halting the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

I feel quite certain that if Romney is elected, we will be in a conflict with Iran. It won't matter what people think or want.
Does that sound like a democracy to you. If it doesn't matter what we think or want?
Its like we will have this war if we like it or not because its our job to do as we are told.

Did I miss a headline?? What war???
It's all speculation at this point.
The war going on right now is covert.

Sure…and it is being fought by US, Russia, China, Iran, Syria, UK, Germany, Israel et al.
I thought you were talking about overt war. The war happening now (as far as US involvement goes) is being fought diplomatically, economically, electronically, and with limited assassinations of key players. There is a thing called “national security” that the US must safeguard.
Problem with people like you who think exactly like our political and banking and military leaders.
Is that you are what I call "half smart", meaning you seem to understand the game superficially but not to the core.
**BlowBack** is the word of the century, US policy is so full of blowback.
And here is your future .......and I for one am glad you will experience it.
Don't cry how Stock Market tumbled, how your entire salary goes for gas money, how price of food has quadrupled, how random terrorism on soft targets went up 3000%

The main reason there will not be a war is because Iran knows that Israel WILL use nukes to defend themselves. The extremism of Iran's leadership needs a devil to keep that extremism alive, but the younger culture is not buying it as before and so they are more in trouble from within than any external threat. Iran really doesn't have any external threats that they do not cultivate first, so they basically turn up the heat for awhile then down....they saw what happen with Saddam too, and I'm sure they do not want to end up like that....

I think you make a very good point here, but does this not contradict the current foreign policy of Israel who are insisting on attacking Iran despite the fact Iran is not a threat for the reasons you mentioned?
To me, your point sums up the sickness of the Zionist's foreign policy plans- because Iran knows if it ever attacked Israel they would get wiped out by the 'Samson Option'- and yet Israel is pushing for war.
