From the AP wires: Israel: US report on Iran may spark war

"The American misconception concerning Iran's nuclear weapons is liable to lead to a regional Yom Kippur where Israel will be among the countries that are threatened,"..."Something went wrong in the American blueprint for analyzing the severity of the Iranian nuclear threat."

Israel will work to change the American intelligence agencies' view of Iran, said Dichter, a former chief of Israel's Shin Bet secret service agency.

The neoconservatives, the right wing Republican hawks, and the right wing Israeli hawks, all coming out in overt contempt for the recent N.I.E. which states that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

There is no surprise here. What is unique in this article is the allegation that the report will spark a war. The keyword is report.

This is similar to the George W. Bush allegation that merely having the knowledge to make a nuclear weapon is cause enough to go to war. The keyword here is the knowledge alone.

Had these world leaders somehow managed to become doctors, one would enter the hospital with a fever and as a precautionary measure leave with numerous organ transplants.
