Devil's advocate for a moment here:

- Bush's rethoric about Iran and the axis of evil is identical to what Iran says about the US. the words are different, but the tone is the same.
- Bush said he wants to deal with the Iran problem before he leaves office (though this topic seems to have died, luckily)
- The US invaded Iraq (a sovereign nation) on false pretenses. Iran did no such thing. Iran did have a long war with Iraq (which basically ended because both sides ran out of soldiers to sacrifice) which was supported by the US government in one form or the other at various points in time
