Sprocket, I have asked myself these questions as well. I view Iran, even with a nuclear weapon, far less of a threat to the interests of the US than Korea or Pakistan. The country that I believe deserves far more of our attention and concern is Russia. Bush has provoked the Bear to the point that we are on the precipice of a new cold war.
Painting Iran a threat has been done for economic interests only. The US administration uses the fear of a nuclear bomb to gain support for another false war for the control of oil.
