What war with Iran would look like ....

It's intriguing to me that CNN would post such a controversal topic as their headline/top story, which is really a good debate question:

"What would the war with Iran look like?"

The first message was routine enough: a "Prepare to Deploy Order" sent through Naval communications channels to a submarine, an Aegis-class cruiser, two minesweepers and two minehunters.

The orders didn't actually command the ships out of port; they just said be ready to move by October 1.

A deployment of minesweepers to the east coast of Iran would seem to suggest that a much discussed, but until now largely theoretical, prospect has become real: that the U.S. may be preparing for war with Iran.

But...

"Nobody is considering a military option at this point," says an administration official. "We're trying to prevent a situation in which the president finds himself having to decide between a nuclear-armed Iran or going to war. The best hope of avoiding that dilemma is hard-nosed diplomacy, one that has serious consequences."

Do we need to go to war with Iran? What if negotations fail and Iran doesn't disarm?

Do we want a crazy nuclear power in the Middle East, central to much of the commotion there?
