Only fools are patient in a time of war. Patience often creates defeat and gives the enemy too much time to plan and regroup. Or it fails to make gains when opportunity arises and creates worse problems down the road (ask Patton).

The most recent example is this Iraq battle (not a war - I believe it's just a part of the war on terror). Bush allowed Congress to pull his nose around the world sucking up to jerks like France and Germany and all for nothing. All that wasted time, IMO, led to Saddam either destroying or moving his WMD's.

Our paitence with Iran is ridiculous. Our State Dept. plays this game with the mullahs that does us no good. Read the Iranian blogs...they are confused as to whether or not we support their efforts to get rid of them. Ditto for Syria.

And why is Prince Bandar even still allowed to live in this country? Saudi Arabia isn't being spanked enough for me. And I fully understand this war on terror will take a long, long time.

But look at Lybia. As usual, they were farther ahead on their weapon's programs than we thought. The same with Iran, N. Korea, etc. But all the focus is what we AREN'T finding in Iraq. Better safe than sorry.

Odd that the people of those countries await the mighty USA to come save them from their own homegrown villains.

What good does it do us, to do any more than we already have, if they are so timid, and if we have to do all the heavy lifting?

The Taliban had to go, and so did Saddam.That was at a minimum, for the USA.
We must be prepared to take on North Korea.
If those Iranians dont know by now how to topple their government,and shake off their shackles, they will never be able to do so, with or without our help.
