Obama is focusing on Iran. Clearly shades of Iraq when Bush asked the United Nations inspectors to inspect Sadam Hussein for nuclear weapons. The UN inspectors said "nope, we've found none." But in the end Bush said "with or without UN blessings or permission I'm sending troops into Iraq." Now Obama is saying the identical thing about Iran. Whenever there is an invasion of a sovereign country always remember that there is a reason. For mean ol' Noriega in Panama it was the importance of the Panama Canal. And for most of the Arab countries...its oil, Texas tea. Guys like Russia and China are a little harder to bully around. Keep in mind what countries belongs to the OPEC group. OPEC hold 75% of the world's oil and with oil comes power and significance.

The Curmudgeon Report
We will do anything and everything to maintain our present personal level of energy use and the comfort it affords us. We will do anything and everything to the earth, to other people and even to ourselves to continue on this path. And if we don’t have the energy level we see others have, we will do anything and everything to the earth, to other people and even to ourselves to attain that level. The proof of this assertion is simple; we are doing it.
