I no longer buy the idea that the European leaders lost control of the events leading to WW1 and somehow it was a series of 'blunders.' Choices were made that led to war, choices; not accidents or mistakes. Iran isn't threatening the United States or fundamental vital US interests. Iran is on the other side of the world after all. The Iranians don't have a massive nuclear armed fleet sailing up and down the West Coast. If war comes it will be because the United States wants it to come. It will be a concious decision, a choice. Narrowing the choices, so only war remains, is also a choice.
