Hmm... While we were taking care of Iraq it was N.Korea is a bigger threat. We are now dealing with NK now Iran is a big threat. Who's going to be the threat once we start dealing with Iran?

Syria
Saudi Arabia
One of the African Countries
Pakistan
India

How about China or Russia? How come those countries didn't make your list?


The Urgent Need to Reconsider Prevailing Assumptions About Russia and China

"The failure of US policy makers to comprehend the veiled aggressiveness and hostility towards the United States inherent in Sino-Russian strategy and the belief that the political and economic reforms in Russia and the partial introduction of capitalism in China have foreshadowed these countries' development into real democracies, have eroded the effectiveness of US policies in the foreign affairs, defence, intelligence and counter-intelligence fields. US policymakers have recklessly accepted the premise that Russia and China are no longer their enemies, but are rather potential allies and partners fully deserving of US support. Only countries like Iran, Iraq and North Korea - which (ironically, in this context) work secretly with Russia and China - are still considered potential adversaries.

US policymakers should urgently re-examine their assumptions about the 'progress' of Russia and China 'towards democracy'. They should take account of Sino-Russian strategy and should recognize that the long-term strategic, political and economic threat comes from a Sino-Russian axis and associated participants like North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Syria. The Russian and Chinese leaders are still committed to their objective of world domination and believe that, disguised as 'democrats', in accordance with Leninist teaching, they will be able to achieve it..."

Mainly because they seem to be the ones pointing their fingers at the others. It would appear that they don't want to take the chance that the US people may start thinking about them.

I don't know nothing about China.
But Russia and Leninist teaching? It sounds ridicluous.
Russia is capitalist country.

Yes they are many former beuracrats and today capitalists in Russia but there wasn't others then them available.

They don't ally with China. They rather worry about China.
What they want now is money not world domination.
