Bombing Iran may appear justified, but would be sheer madness - mikebratcher69 - 7 March 2012
As if the world did not have troubles enough, we now face a real threat that Israel will launch an assault on Iran’s nuclear sites. The implications of such action are uncertain but assuredly immense.
It would precipitate an open-ended conflict between Iran and the West.
Oil prices could surge as the vital tanker conduit through the Strait of Hormuz came under attack.
Much of the Muslim world would back Iran, not from affection for its mullahs but because an attack would be seen as new evidence of Western partisanship for Israel: a hated foe  and illegal nuclear power.

This is where it gets interesting!
If Israel kicks off, they could cause a nuclear meltdown in Iran, leading to another Chenobil (or however it's spelt). In fairness, Iran would be policing themselves. Israel fires a missile at a nuke station, ends up as a 150 year contamination as a dirty bomb explosion. That's some good thinking on Israel's side...but it would start WW£/€ (it's the true way to spell WW3). So it would kind of f*** everyone else up.
