Spengler of the Asia times essentially says Bush has to do it...and since Spengler hates bush (and everyone else for that matter) it makes you wonder...
Other headlines on the Asian times are about Turkey and Pakistan worrying... Why is an Asia paper printing so many different opinions on this?
It's the oil stupid...China is in the midst of a giant economic expansion...and needs oil... so would probably block any meaningful intervention by the UN or the US...
Asia is a growing economic powerhouse, and needs oil...so any destablization of the Mideast messes up their economies.
The real wild card is Israel....
But the EU is in real danger (which is why Chirac a few days ago mentioned they have nukes in France and know how to use them)...
The EU (and Hillary Clinton) would like the evil cowboy Bush to intervene...unilaterally of course, so they can keep their hands clean, continue to demonize America, and ignore that their "soft power" isn't worth a bucket of spit...
A good summary of the options are HERE...
And a lengthy report about what a nuclear Iran would mean is found in this PDF link
