Bush is still beating the drums of war.

Bush is in Middle East and has used the recent contact between Iranian speed boats and our Navy ships as a new evidence to expose the 'evildoers'. He calls Iran an enemy of world peace.

While the neo-imperialist in me would be OK if we took over Iran's resources, the realist in me says that it's probably a very bad idea. We can't even handle the poorly armed civilians in Iraq let alone go and take on a better armed and trained Iranians. They have undoubtedly learned their lessons from Iraq - 'liberating' the Iranians from their government wouldn't be much of a problem but the resulting insurgency will be far worse.

Plus, we are about to enter a recession. The last thing we need is increased volatility in the oil prices.
