Why not Iran???
Ok, I would never openly advocate for the invasion of another country, but don't you all think this is another example of US stupidity?
I mean, THIS is a country that has admitted to wanting Israel wiped off the map, whose President wished for Ariel Sharon to die, who has admitted to a nuclear program (if only "peaceful") and who has know ties with Al-Qaeda terrorists. THIS is the country Bush should have invaded instead of Iraq. And don't get me started about North Korea...
How conservative Americans can sit by while Bush's policies continue to waste billions of their taxpayer dollars, while seeing thousands of American troops die for reasons that have already proven to be wrong, is beyond me.
Invading Iraq was a mistake of incredible proportions. No weapons of mass destruction... no Al-Qaeda links... (heck, Al-Qaeda came in AFTER the US invaded... how ironic) Now Bush is committed to a long-term occupation that prevents him from focusing on two very real, nuclear threats. How's that for leadership?

Iran nuclear stand-off escalates
Iran's dispute with the UN and Western countries has deepened after Tehran resumed nuclear research.
As Iran removed UN seals from equipment at Natanz facility, UN nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Tehran would start small-scale nuclear enrichment.
The move was condemned by the US and European countries, which fear Iran is seeking to produce atomic bombs.
Tehran denies the accusation, saying it wants to produce nuclear energy only.
In a statement from the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) headquarters in Vienna, Mr ElBaradei said that as well as breaking the international seals on its atomic research centre in Natanz, Iran would before Wednesday remove seals on two other connected sites.
The BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna says Iran's latest move is expected to trigger an emergency meeting of the IAEA's board of governors.
