Well that is part of the problem. Most of the people in Bush's ear are too Israel-centric in their world view.
As a result they have taken our eyes off the ball in terms of America's core best interests.
Bin Laden is still running free and in Pakistan you have exisiting nukes within fathomable reach of Taleban sympathizers. If there is any place that some rouge will get its hands on nukes, Pakistan has to be close to the top of the list RIGHT NOW.
But our policy is try to maneuver into a war with Iran???
Iran borders Pakistan. When the war spreads to yet another Muslim country it can not be predicted how this will effect internal politics in Pakistan. The law of unintended consequences might lead to a chain of events that results in Mushareffs assasination, delivering the nukes to the Taleban.
These things have a way of spiraling out of control and we have arrogant SOBs running the show right now who refuse to consider that they are not masters of every detail.
Clearly they are not.
I don't think anybody WANTS to go to war with Iran.
But they are clearly not helping the situation with the rhetoric and the dissmissal of the U.N.'s nuclear inspectors.
People can hate Bush, but he's not the one calling for other nations to be wiped off the map. That's the nut (using that apt term since I will not attempt to butcher the spelling of his name) parading around as the "democratically" elected president of Iran.
