An ex-black ops dude named Bill was on AJ's show a couple days ago, and he said a little birdy told him there's talk of an impending attack on 9/11 of this year in DC. Bill also said he was confused as to why there'd be an attack in DC that day, as none of the politicians will be there.
But thousands of protesters are going to be there.
I was supposed to go to DC on 9/11 with my Overpass-Protest friends, but I couldn't get up the money in time. Now I'm glad I couldn't.
If anything is going to be targeting citizens this 9/11, its most definitely gonna be in DC. The Overpass "Impeach Obama" protesters along with the Million Muslim March... and on 9/11, no less. There will be plenty of people to point the finger at, and if anything happens on 9/11, the powers will also have the trauma-sympathy card that they can play, swaying the American people to attack overseas.

While I didn't say anything about China in the OP(s), China is a huge part of this. They want oil... lots of oil... because they will be the next superpower. That means they need Iran pumping out oil, and they like the fact that they don't have to have our dollars to get it.
One big dynamic should it come to war with China is the geography between China and Iran. In order to access the Persian Gulf, or even the Gulf of Oman, Chinese ships have to navigate the South Pacific. That's a seriously rough journey should Australia and New Zealand ally with the US (as I believe they would). It is all but impossible to even conceive of a pipeline across the Himalayas.
They have one potential save in that area, though, and that would be a pipeline through Myanmar (formerly Burma). That country is seriously unstable right now, but it would be a prime location for a pipeline from an oil ort directly into the heart of China without any problems with sailing between it and Iranian ports.
I look for something to happen in Myanmar soon as well. It may already have and we just don't know about it; that's not an area which is easy to get info out of.

I think the phrase you are looking for is "between a rock and a hard place."
If we ignore Iran and leave Syria alone, we risk total destabilization of our economy leading to a massive inflationary cycle and depression which could also spread to the world. This would essentially remove the United States from any role as a superpower indefinitely and could even take us back to third-world status... and drag the rest of the West with us.
If we continue on the present course and attack Syria directly to get at Iran, we run the risk of igniting a third world war and will no doubt be responsible for millions of deaths around the globe.
Suicide or homicide?
Tough choice.
