A player, 5 April 2012
In regards to this: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=97217#p1282602
I assume that if the player playing Iron Will has a second copy in his hand, the window still exists to play the second copy?
1. Player A announces Ninube Shiho's action and targets Player B's Paragon. 2. Player B announces Iron Will in response to the targeting. 3. Player A announces Ninja Tricks in response to the announcement, bowing Shiho for its cost. 4. Ninja Tricks resolves, negating the effects of Iron Will. *5. It is now Player A's opportunity to react to his own targeting of Shiho's action. He passes, as the action is currently going to proceed. *6. Player B now reacts again to the targeting with a second copy of Iron Will.
Is this sequence essentially correct?

After the Iron Will resolves (or fails to), you're still in the timing step for playing Reactions - Step D of the Timing Sequence - to "After a player targets a card with an action", so another copy of Iron Will may be played.
