The USAF is probing Iranian defenses in the hopes that they can map air defenses. Given Dick Cheney has reignited the rhetoric machine, doing exactly what he did in advance of the Iraq war to start mobilizing support for it, this is a disturbing development.
I cannot imagine if the Bush administration opens up another war (before finishing the first one) that a draft will be able to be avoided... those who want peace will have to work harder and smarter this time to shine a spotlight on the pro-war movers and shakers, and wake others up to what is going on.

Despite the denials, they appear to be planning another war...

Bush's strategy may be...
I would think that we won't conduct a ground invasion of Iran, since there would be nothing to gain from it. Rather, if we're not just posturing, then we'll probably just bomb the crap out of their infrastructure, the way we did with Serbia. Actually, I think the most likely scenario is that Israel will attack its nuclear facilities, citing self defense.
Iran will then of course retaliate with its missiles capable of reaching Israel. While Israel tries to intercept the missiles with their anti-missile systems, we'll then attack Iran as well in the name of protecting Israel. Since the Iranian Mullahs are widely unpopular with the Iranian public, perhaps Israel and the US will then try to help facilitate a coup.
God, please I pray, help us all.
This is all speculation of course and my personal opinion is that we have no business attacking Iran.
I think you're right in that no matter who moves first, Iran would launch an attack on Israel as retaliation. God help us all if that happens.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail here and there, and Iran will see that the wisest course is to cooperate as closely as possible with the inspectors.
