Now I don't see Bush as having a choice whether to invade Iran, since he invaded Iraq on 'assumed' WMD, rather than concrete as is the case now with Iran.
The question now is when and how?

On the flip side of the coin, now Iran's revolutionaries have absolutely no reason not to overthrow their government. Before they could hope for reform. Now they've got to consider that reform will have to come about the hard way.

I think perhaps the President has the CIA and military intelligence prepping a rebellion in that country. And if they aren't, hopefully one of his aides reads the Free Republic and has an epiphany...

Yazd, AFAIK, is the capital of Zoroastrians of the world with great people and great candies.

I cannot explain more. I have no real data. Just an insistent tickle in the back of my head, that the end of the Mullahs will arise in Yazd in early summer 2006.

Iraq is a country with a small group of illiterate Arabs.
Iran has three times the population, NOT Arabs and have far more educated citizens. (Read that as "They are middle-easterns, but they are NOT Arabs.)

Sadaam Hussein, his million man army and all the help/aid/money of the U.S. (1980-1989) couldn't get them a victory over Iran. The best they could do was a bloody, 9-year stalemate where everyone lost.

Bush won't do it. He's not stupid.
He will deal with Iran differently, as he should.
