Thank God for the Iraq war?

Yes thank God for the Irak war. If President Bush and his acolytes had not invaded Iraq and thus had not seen the disaster which occurs when middle east lands are occupied, they would be now planning an attack on Iran. An attack on Iran would of course lead to a cascade of world traumas including the blocking of oil supplies by the sabotage of the gulf. We keep hearing how we are fighting an “asymetrical” war, but all wars short of nuclear will now be asymetrical because the very strength of the US (or Israel for that matter) leaves our opponents no choice and thus Iran would sink a few ships in the gulf and block oil supplies creating an economic apocalypse. Bush may not yet be convinced that we are not invincible, but it is hoped that Congress and maybe even the military (no, not really) would have the spine to resist and cut off the funds for such an adventure.
