Obama will go for mediation and even arbitration but when the Iranians fail to give any concrete progress in a suggested time frame there will be an allied naval blockade and then there will be war. If Iran can appear to be moderate, at least for a time, it will end up with an allied Iraq as well as NATO hostages in Afgahnistan....and a few nukes. Just because the USA lost credibility on WMD in Iraq doesn`t mean it can`t build a coalition for a "search and seize" mission in the Gulf.
