the deepest shade of mushroom blue

I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the level of tension between the White House and Iran right now. The last thing we can afford right now is to start another war, especially in the Middle East, but there's part of me that can't help but think the administration is intentionally agitating the situation. There's no doubt in my mind that the Iranian regime is up to no good, and there probably is a good chance that they're aiding insurgents in Iraq. However, we're clearly stretched thin as it is, so we can't afford to get in a spitting match with Iran. That and, considering how good our intelligence was when it came to Iraq and WMDs, maybe we should be a little careful about throwing around accusations. Obviously it would not be a good thing if Iran continues pursuing its nuclear program, but the recent success with North Korea proves that there is not any reason to go running in there guns blazing over it.
