Iran war on the way?

With Iran continuing, as they should be allowed, to move forward on nuclear power programs Bush continues to make the claim that they are hiding a "rogue nuclear weapons program" and that they are in fact not trying for nuclear power, but trying to build a bomb.

This of course is being said by Bush at the same time that he U.N. nuclear watchdog is saying that it is not the case. Russia, our ally, is helping them build the power plant and saying it isn't the case, and no other country is supporting us in our claims. To make matters even better we don't even have any proof for what we are saying other than a hard line Islamic leader is in power and we don't like it.

This all sounds eerily familiar. Mmmm, let me think what other war was started on the basis that the country had WMD's although the U.N., our allies, The leader of the Country, and every other major country in the world excluding Great Britain said that they did not have them and they were not a threat (sorry I refuse to consider Poland, Australia, or Afghanistan major countries in this case.)

that's right the Iraq war, and now we are paying a huge price for our mistake. Maybe this time instead of being all gung ho and not looking at the facts we should let diplomacy take it's path, let the U.N. do it's job and work with our allies instead of telling them what we want and if they don't like it naming any food that has their name associated with it changed to "freedom _______" (i.e. freedom fries, freedom toast, ect.)

When is Bush going to learn that he cannot push the world around and expect everyone to be all happy about it. Our military is far to stretched out for him to be making threats such as "we are not taking any options of the table" in regards to how we will handle the Iran situation.

When are we going to learn that we cannot be the watchdog for the world. That is the job of the U.N. , let them do it. Get our boys and girls home and lets keep them here.
