To start a war because you can Who will  benefit  from a War in Iran Israel?   Who will sit on the sidelines without casualties while Americans bleed and die to fight in a bloody wars killing children men and women and causing economic hardship at the tax payers expense, hurting and killing the poor, working poor, elderly and middle class citizens of all countries that are involved? Who will receive the benefits from the war Israelite or Iranian.

"The United States is urging Israel  not to forgo a military strike against Iran over its nuclear program, and give international sanctions more time to work."

 At a time when President Obama has moved troops out of Iraq and is moving them out of Afghanistan, it’s looking increasingly like our worries in the Middle East are far from over. Maybe it’s not unprecedented, but it’s highly unusual for a sitting secretary of defense to worry in print (to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius) that Israel could launch a strike against Iran as early as this spring. The point of the Israeli attack, according to Ignatius and Panetta, would be to stop Iran before it begins building a nuclear bomb. The U.S. is saying that it would find such a move foolhardy, and yet also reassuring both the Israeli and American publics that it is committed to Israel’s security."
