A US victory in Iraq will make Iran a non-issue. The large allied troop presence in liberated Iraq will make Iran fold. Why their new interest in Uranium? They know an allied victory in Iraq is inevitable and they are planning to use their nuclear program as a negotiation tool (a la North Korea). They, as well as North Korea, have no intentions of using nuclear weapons, or even building them for that matter, but they feel that their tough talk on the issue will force the US into concessions, or in other words, increased financial aid.

I have the same feeling and Syria is the next in line...

Syria is a non-issue as well. Once the figurehead of state sponsored terrorism falls (Saddam), the other rogue state sponsors will be pressured into changing their ways in order to AVOID being next. Saddam will be the example, giving the US (and allies) the credibility to say “end terrorism sponsorship or else.” Contrary to what you US-haters like to believe, I don't foresee any additional widespread military conflicts after Iraq. The simple threat of force will be enough on its own.

1. Nobody said an Iraq war was a cure all situation. I just said after an Iraq war, I don't see any other full scale military conflicts against nation states. There still will be military battles against terrorist factions, but not against an entire country's government.

2. I used the term US-haters because I believe there is a small faction of members in here, and people around the world for that matter including here in the States, that simply hate America. If people are sincerely against a war, fine, I respect their opinion. But some are against the war just because a victory will make America stronger and they do not want that! Anything that makes America weaker is great for them. 9/11? God’s work in their minds. These are the people of whom I have a problem with.

A lot of people hate the american government (me included to some extend), but clearly not the Americans.

I think you see it a bit too brightful. The USA and its reputation will be hampered, no matter if they win the war convincly or not. Nobody believes Iraq will win the war. The problem is, that everybody can see how the western world unity breaks up, and thats clearly not a good sign in relation to the ongoing war on terror.

excellent post, never ever before the US faced such criticism. Even worse, TV networks and media, tells us not to believe the US govt?!!? I mean wow, this is a real change. And western countries aren't unified as before, most of them don't like the arrogant way of doing things of the actual US administration.

ex-employees of petrol companies running a govt that will attack a country that has the 2nd largest reserves of petrol. You can't get more obvious than this.
