Iran is going to pose a very thorny problem for the Bush administration. It's too big to invade, diplomacy is a non-starter given the history of US involvement with the Shah's regime not to mention the total ineptitude they have displayed already in the field of diplomacy, and Iran's religious leaders are inching ever closer to having a nuclear deterrent of their own.
Maybe Israel can solve the problem for them by flying another bombing raid, but given that trick has already worked once before, it likely won't again.
Don't bet against Bush taking the fight to Iran (or Syria to stop the flow of islamic radicals fueling the insurgency - in what would be an eerie echo of Nixon's illegal campaign in Cambodia to stop insurgents from crossing into Viet Nam), he's already demonstrated that he isn't constrained by reason, ideaology, or any thing other than his own hubris.
