I'll post what I said earlier:
1) World police: You've talked about how we shouldn't be the world police and then create a thread about making us the world police in another country. But I do think we should make an effort here just like in Iraq. We should have done the same in Pakistan - a friendly US ally that spread nuclear technology everywhere evidently.
2) Violations of Laws: Iraq violated sanctions over and over and didn't comply with UN weapons inspectors.
3) Diplomatic Efforts: The US has met with Europe and pushed them to punish Iran and also offer incentives to move away from nuclear power. The problem is that it is the French who put the Ayatollah in power. The filthy Euros and their blood hungry leadership has set the country back by hundreds of years. And yes America too. Anyway, diplomatically America is trying to achieve as much as it can before it moves towards any other steps.
4) Intelligence: Also, it needs to be fully sure of what's going on. In Iraq, the whole world had faulty intelligence and I doubt America is willing to just jump on this train no matter what.
