We are of the opinion that Iran is a rational actor.
We also know, or we believe we know that Iran has not decided to make a nuclear weapon.”

A top US military official has described Iran as a rational actor in the international arena, stating that the Islamic Republic is not after producing nuclear weapons.
Speaking in a nationally televised interview with the CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” show on Sunday, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey said, “We are of the opinion that Iran is a rational actor.”
Dempsey pointed out that US officials aren't convinced Iran has decided to build atomic armaments.
“We also know, or we believe we know that Iran has not decided to make a nuclear weapon,” General Dempsey said.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the top US general also described any Israeli attack on Iran as “destabilizing.”
“It’s not prudent at this point to decide to attack Iran,” General Dempsey said, adding that the US government is confident the Israelis “understand our concerns.”

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff...
I think I would take his word about Iran's intentions over what the neocon warhark firsters at places like FOX news claim anyday.
Iran is run by people at least as smart as those in the Obama administration, and they realize we could cause massive and long-lasting damage to their entire infrastructure, just like we did in Iraq. I do not think they will invite a US strike, and I hope that the US will not attack Iran, regardless of what the Israelis want or claim.
We don't get oil from Iran, they are not a trading partner of ours, and we have no strategic interest in the damned place.
If Israel attacks Iran, then Israel needs to accept the consequences... NOT us.
Bob - I agree, totally.
