Certainly an attack on Iran seems like a possibility, especially since US forces are both in Afganistan and Iran. Initially I thought it would be impossible, but the reality has changed so much recently. Libya, Jordan & Egypt are becoming partners with the west, the African muslim nations are sustained by european turism, Lebanon is divided, Syria is poor, the Palestinians have their butts kicked by Israel on regular basis. The only thing that could go wrong, I think, is a muslim revolution in Pakistan against Musharaff. But the problem is with the sheer size of Iran - it's bigger and better armed than Iraq was. Besides, neither the US economy, nor the public opinion could take such a large scale war. Not any time soon, anyway.
