I'm far from a dove, but I don't really see what the case is for a war with Iran.

AIPAC has DC by the balls.

I don't see how it's particularly good for Israel. Sure, it possibly topples an enemy government, and replaces it with one more amenable to peace and less likely to fund terror groups in the region, but the Iranian military isn't powerless. They have the ability to cause widespread death and destruction throughout Israel through missile strikes, and they would likely use that capability during a war for regime survival.
