Alrighty then.

Just like when the UN and Iraq lied about having WMD's......oh, wait.

No, but reputations mean something.

Iran has repeatedly lied about its nuclear program and defied "authority" and has aided and abetted terrorism.

The UN has a long history of corruption and policies driven by ideologues. Why should they be given the benefit of doubt now?

Good enough for you or do you have some more snide comments to make backed by little or no facts?

And the US has a reputation for jumping the gun and acting before exploring all possible solutions. I hope, for our military's sake, that we don't do that again.

And I fully expect the West to get burned royally by Iran when all is said and done.

I think you're a little to paranoid. The Soviets didn't burn us, Iraq didn't burn us and the Iranians won't burn us.
