I just head that on CNN/HLN. An editor from Time magazine said that clearly Iran was more dangerous to us because they had a nuclear program. That was why we invaded Iraq, Iran would be more difficult.

1. In other words, Totalitarian Nations like to pick on the weak
Hitler went after Poland.

The Soviet Union went after the Hungarians & Czechs.

Why shouldn't Imperial Amerika behave as others like us have throughout history?

2. Admission of no WMD's in Iraq?
It's well known that Iraq was attacked PRECISELY because they were "a pushover".
