Allright... sorry for the slow reply. Not that I'm running away coz I began such provocative, yet interesting topic to be debated of.
Anyway, I researched this topic for awhile and found some interesting, well-hidden fact: the real reason of US aggresive pressure toward Iran apparantly not because of WMD. It could be explained by one word: Petroeuro. Yup, Iran build a bourse that denominated Euro as the main currency, just like what Saddam did in 2000. What's the meaning of this? simply because it could shake the monopoly of US toward standard international currency. Oil-consuming countries will surely pick 37 euro of oil barrel instead the $57 one. Such condition will depress american economic.
In this situation, US actually has very few options, the first is of course to openly press Iran's nuclear program for it's actually a good investment in context of long-term. Dont forget, the oil reserve in middle east is predicted will run out about 50 years from now on. A technology replacement toward oil-consuming technology is what needed most by Iran.
Second, using invasion like what it did to Iraq. But this one has risky implication toward the oil price in the world. Iran has anti-ship missiles based in "Abu Mousa" island that controls the strait of Hermuz at the entrance of the Persian Gulf. Iran could easily close the strait thus blocking all naval traffic carrying gulf oil to the rest of the world causing a global oil crisis. Such condition will make a bad implications toward Iran as well, because Iran actually importing oil to fulfill the need of its national demand.
Well, this is getting interesting. Time will be the answer whether Iran will become the next iraq or not.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
