Yeah, well, we've waited for tha to happen before. And while experts say that Iran is 5 years away from a nuke, the experst have always been WRONG when estimating those timelines. They were wrong with Pakistan, India and Korea.

And Typhoid, I don't think I was exaggerrating at all. 1) The first gulf war lasted all of about a month, if that. 2) Saddam's been in jail for a while now. Think he hasn't had his **** pushed in?

As for the US policing the world, read The Case for Goliath. Looks like the world LIKES the US policing the them, because we're the only ones willing to do it. Just think what would happen if we didn't. I mean, we kept our noses out of Rawanda, and the rest of the world jumped on that genocide, didn't they? The rest of the world were just praying to get into Bosnia and stop that, right? Oh wait, we had to twist Un arms to do after tens fo thousands already died. The US polices intenational trade lanes on the oceans.

The US policing the world is a good thing. While the Iraq war may not be gong as planned, at least we tried to do something instead of just hoping everything works itself out.
