If Iran is the real threat that Iraq was made out to be, Bush has unfortunately squandered his "Pre-emption Doctrine" in his war against Iraq to uncover the WMD that apparently weren't there.
Bush right now couldn't get support from the American people to take on Iran - - even if it really ought to be done. Not even if he found a bag with $87 billion in it.
Bush has weakened this country's ability to defend itself by committing so many troops and dollars already to Afghanistan and Iraq. We have little resources to wage another war should one be necessary.
Only wars that absolutely have to be fought should be fought - - and after all efforts in diplomacy have been exerted.
