United States sets Iran March deadline

The United States has given Iran a deadline to end its nuclear weapons programme. The US State Department said Iran has until a March meeting of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency to comply with promises made late last year.

If Iran is then found not to be in compliance, the United States could urge that the IAEA board refer the matter to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions or other options.

The United States accuses Iran of continuing to hide information on weapons from the IAEA.

Simplistic response: (brain not awake enough, sorry)
Mr. Bush's goal for the ME is to turn the countries into true democracies. When Iran, the largest country, is changed over, hopefully others will follow. When this takes place, we won't need to be in the ME. At least as we are now.
And sanctions rarely seem to do much. Underhanded and backdoor dealings seem to undermine the sanctions. IF all the countries truly lived up to agreement, they'd be a lot more effective.
