War is a major way to sap a countries resources/finances. If we, in our current wounded financial state, went on a large scale war, we would not be able to financially sustain it. There would be a bigger burden on the tax payer. Prices would soar!
Beyond that, fuel prices would jump massively because the Gulf would be shut down, so 70% of the worlds oil transport system would be closed. That would cause transport to cost more, so food would cost more. Finances of the country would be crippled more than they already are.

Beyond this, a war in Iran has the potential to become a world war. Iran has allies as well. We have the alliance of America, Europe, and everyone else in the UN. Iran is buddies with most of the middle east, China, and Russia. Those are some big boys to take on.

If Russia and China stood against America, don't you think Korea would have a great excuse to shoot those Northern sector missiles off? Who's going to stop them if we are all at war?

If something does happen, it will either be like Iraq, where we saw body bags, or it could go as big as WW3, and a bollock load of nukes flying around!
