Well hey, did the research, and....doesn't seem to happen too often, but when it does, I'll admit to it...I was wrong about the direct evidence, none has been presented to us. Ofcourse that doesn't mean no evidence exists, but as of currently I don't believe it exists. So by that logic, your grounds for declaring war on Iran were not met, however if any of them were to be met in the future, I believe the one we dealt with in question would be the most likely.
I don't favor a war with Iran, but what I hate to hear, is people ruling out any kind of military action whatsoever. I also hate to hear people voice their opinion of "not going to war with Iran only because of what's happened in Iraq." New situation. Many mistakes were made with Iraq, and we have the chance to not repeat them. Also, just because our record with pre-emptive wars isn't so hot, doesn't mean we have to rule them out. I believe it means we have to be a hell of a lot more careful and absolute about any we think to engage in, and I also believe that there's an extremely small chance that we'll ever need to engage in one in the near future.
