In the 1980's, Iran and Iraq fought a war that lasted almost eight years, cost 1 million lives, and drained the two nations. Iran attacked Iraq, Iraq defended, and the war essentially became a stalemate.
Iran had three objectives in this war:
1. To overthrow Saddam Hussein.
2. To ensure that Iraq did not develop WMD.
3. To establish a Shiite majority in Iraq.
Now, after three years of George Bush's war in Iraq, we find that Bush has accomplished each of Iran's objectives.
1. Saddam Hussein has been overthrown.
2. We know that Iraq had no WMD and we have ensured there will be none.
3. The US-sponsored Iraqi constitution now ensures a Shiite majority in Iraq.
Yep, ol' George Bush is the best friend Iran has and he and his advisors are too damn dumb to see what they have done.

I think you got it all wrong - it was Iraq that attacked Iran in
that war! See the article in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_war
By the way: Saddam Hussein had "positive relations" to USA at
that time, some might even suggest it was an american war with a
substitute (Saddam).
Today there are american military present on a massive scale in
two of Iran's neighboring countries: Afghanistan and Iraq. So
maybe you should ask yourself if not *any* government in Iran
would consider getting nuclear weapons?
Why give the disgusting theocratic regime in Iran some kind of
excuse to try to develop WMD - unless it is war that you want?
