Bush's decision to invade Iraq as part of the "global war on terror" made America a party to the conflicts on the ground as never before. Saddam Hussein's regime, loathsome as it was, provided a strategic balance to the power of a radicalized Iran. Now the invasion has put Washington head-to-head with Tehran. The confrontation is military, economic, political, ideological, direct and indirect, overt and covert—and on several fronts the Iranians appear to have outmaneuvered the administration. Prominent Iranian journalist Mashallah Shamsolvaezin, who is also an expert on Lebanese affairs, suggests that Tehran's next step, far from making war, will be to present itself as a peacemaker. "This will present another opportunity to show its regional power," he said.

YES it is.

And any peacemaking on the part of the Iranians surely will come with an agenda and strings attached.

There is little difference between al queda and the government of Iran....they are both ideological extremist with hatred towards the west and Israel. Saddam was not a religous zealout like they are but they would have (and were) used his country and assets to hurt both Israel and the US. That is why I think we did the right thing in Iraq.

It will be interesting to see if the World at the US bequest stays out of the Hezzbolah \ Israeli conflict and what Hamas does. If Israel puts these two organizations on the ropes is Syria and Iran going to try and come in and back them? If so I think the US is waiting to blindside them - from Iraq.

there you go again Mr. president .
Iraq is just a convient excusse to blame 9-11 on when all we really want is a destableization of oil prices around the globe.
WE have reserves in america to continue running america for two years if the oil stopped comming .NO other nation can make this claim AND is the prelude to americas attempt at world domination in the near future .
We have suddenly realized we will be un-able to prevent other nations from making nuclear weapons and must do something soon or for ever loss the ability to take over and not have billions of people killed .

Certainly. US calls Iran 'Axis of Evil' while Iran calls US the 'Great Satan'. But don't forget that the Taliban were a great power in that region as well. One spokesman recently said that Iran considered US a best friend because they had destroyed their worst enemies for them.
