Which has to make you wonder if Iran today isn't a far more attractive target the "Bush doctrine" of preemption. It actually has a nuclear program, it actually sponsors international terrorism (although not al queda as far as I know), it is an equally repressive region, and it has been asserting its strength in the region.
Unfortunately, Bush squandered all of his diplomatic and political capital on the neo-con wet dream in Iraq.
