I doubt we'll be going to Iran anytime soon, the USA/UK is already overstretched in Afghanistan & Iraq. We don't have the manpower unless we want to go into a state of total war.

I also still think we were right to invade Iraq as Saddam was an utter bastrd & needed to go. Though we should have taken Mugabe out first, this is obviously politically correct imperialism to gain oil in the name of democracy. I also don't think Iraq is in a state of civil war, the United States had lost more men in the first year of Vietnam than it has in the war in Iraq thus far. The wars are quite similar, though with differences. The USA was still fighting a hidden enemy with guerilla tactics using guns... If every Iraqi chap wanted to kill all westerners I'd expect to see far more casualties from roadside bombs & far more city fighting & insurgency.

I never expected Iraq to be a short war but I also don't think we are losing.
