Iran: Time to Freak Out?

Steve seems to be buggin. Those are only two of many pieces I've read this week, which are claiming that the rumors we've heard for so long are true, and that now is when Hersh's words will come back to haunt us. Lambert riffs off Glenn. My question: how long is the air campaign supposed to "work?" That is, we don't have the troops for an invasion, and I think right now, a serendipitous "terrorist" attack to spur a draft would go over really, really badly with the voters. Anyone heard anything new lately?

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
