Israel has openly said that if Obama does not proceed with preventing the Iranians from developing an atomic weapon, the IDF will engage in preliminary strikes against Iran, just like they did with Iraq in the 1980s. Obama has a lot to lose by not acting.
It's hilarious that for all the religious bashing that goes on around here that there isn't more distrust for a country run exclusively by wide-eyed fanatical ayatollahs. Meanwhile both Israel and the United States are governed by diverse democratic institutions. I know who I would trust more.
