Here's what's going on. Bush Co. is heavily invested in this war. Not politically, economically. Bush Co. gave uncontested contracts to companies like Haliburton at the beginning of this whole thing to take care of the rebuilding process as well as troop support (food, clothing, et al.) These companies are profiting heavily because of the war, no shit right. And this money is funneled into the pockets of Bush Co. and those who got them elected, Big Business. Moving into Iran will only prove to cement their continued presence in the region, thus cementing their future monetary profits. This is not a political war, it's an economic war. So long as American companies are "rebuilding" Iraq et al, they make money off us. Bush got elected president by the actions of Big Business and now he's paying them back. What's worse yet, most of these profits that are made in Iraq are in danger of, or have, gone overseas, remember Haliburton's plan to move overseas. Who would want to benefit this country after all. Pesky taxes.

Here's what I see happening however. We've split our forces between Iraq and Afghanistan. Then if we attack Iran. Iran will attack Israel. Israel will be attacked by Palestine then as well. Lebanon will fall again. And the whole area will fall into chaos, which, will then become a nuclear crater if Israel becomes shaken enough. You know what's sad about this World War, other than it happening in the first place, it's that we're the fascist aggressors this time. Fun huh.
