Iran and the American election

I recently found an article that deals more with Iran. It talks about how going to war with Iran could be horrible, and likewise have an affect on who is elected. I thought this was a pretty good section of the article: "A calming of tensions with Iran would by contrast make the John McCain/Barack Obama contest more likely to focus on the domestic economy, an arena where Obama would have the advantage. Any Republican strategist worth his pay-cheque would see the killing or arrest of Osama bin Laden, coupled with an attack on the Tehran roadblock to victory in Iraq, as hugely tempting in electoral terms." There were numerous other quotes from both perspectives. The article does a very good job of showing what factors contribute to who is elected. I find it very unbiased and thus very resourceful information.
