I sure wouldn't like it either. Having said that, to my mind there were other valid reasons to go in...one of them being that Saddam has always been a big supporter of terrorism. How does one have a War on Terror without taking out the sponsors? To me it was more important to take him out before he got the weapons. Believing that, I find it hypocritical to ignore Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, and the Palestinians. THAT galls me.

Iran requires a completly different strategy.

According to Dr. Victor Hanson, eminent military historian, and professor at Cal State Fresno, dealing with Iran is more complex because you have the people who want to overthrow the Govt., but are not militarily capable at this point.

The best way to win freedom for Iranians is to do so covertly. Supply them with arms, and work towards an eventual overthrow.If the Americans invade, the Govt. would organize the Muslems to defeat the Americans. They would rally to that.
