While I too abhor war . . . and while I am not saying we should get involved . . .since you asked for comment, I will use the same example you began with: Hitler before WWII.

 

Here I become seriously conflicted.  Would earlier involvement have avoided the Holocaus and prevented the death of about 9 million, would it have stopped Soviet expansion, would it have changed history so that Israel never became a state again in modern times?

 

Of course we'll never know.  But we do know that war seems to just be something humanity just can't seem to live without.  Where did that damn gene come from? 

 

To say it another way, when does it become in our national interest to become involved . . . when does it become necessary to be that policeman . . . under what circumstances . . . never?

 

I don't know the answers, and those questions above are not the only ones, but I think they are worth considering.

Chris,

Speaking for myself alone, you raise the exact points that I've been telling to everyone within earshot over the past few days, in particular your point #6.  The idea that Iran would risk complete annihilation to attack Israel with a nuclear bomb seems totally farfetched, and of course that's even assuming that Iran will be capable of making such a bomb in the near or intermediate future, given all the damage it's already sustained over the past few weeks.
