I don't think we are going to leave Iran alone.
From a strategic point of view taking out Iraq first was a better strategy. If we had invaded Iran, Iraq would have gotten involved. When we invaded Iraq, Iran did not care and may have actually wanted Sadaam out of power.
Now it is just a matter of time for Iran. We are on a collision course. The war won't start during Bush's presidency, but it will happen given the posture and threats coming out of Iran. I think we will need a Democrat to lead us to victory in stabalizing the Middle East because half of the country won't believe a Republican no matter what happens. Its pretty sad, because our enemies use this division as an opportunity to prepare for war.

The good that will come of this is the production of a "stalemate". If the current administration stays true to form they will not invade.
I believe that democracy and reform will come to Iran. I believe it will come from within... it will just take time.

We have had nuclear wepaons and have not used them in the past 60 years. Am I to understand that you think Iran having nuclear weapons today will promote peace through "stalemate"?
