War with Iran? What War with Iran?

So it appears that Jason Cherniak has now clarified his original post. He says that it was just a simple question that has since been clarified for him by Michelle Oliel in his comments section. A quote from Ms. Oliel's comment:

"I doubt that the British can make a claim that attacking the nuclear reactor is imminent or proportionate to what the Iranians did."

Indeed. I think why so many of us were concerned about Jason's question was that we took such an assertion for granted. It was that taking for granted that caused me at least to question what exactly Jason was trying to say here.
