Come on Eric, you're quibbling.

According to the 'news' article, the US administration is positing two reasons for an attack on Iran.

And in that respect, it's interesting that the first - evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons - hasn't been converted into an attack considering how sure evrybody is that Iran is on such a course. Very reminiscent of the Iraq build up. Everybody was convinced that Saddam had WMD stocks. Only he didn't.

Now we know that you're not in favour of a strike on Iran, so are you defending Bush or attacking the BBC?

>>rather that the triggers for such an attack are two-fold



And what do you think a "trigger" is? Some cybernetic algorithm from deep inside Thunder Mountain? Granted, Bush's decisions may be questionable, but they haven't automated him yet.

To say it's a trigger is to say it may be considered. And that's not news. There are countless triggers for countless situations.
