Wars and bombs and stuff

U.S. not planning for war with Iran, Gates says
(Some would argue that they didn't really plan the Iraq one either, but I'm spliting hairs.)
I would hope that the US has enough sense not to get involved in another war. We can't even decide how we're going to handle the one we're in now. It's a recipe for disaster.
Also, it's a good thing Saddam is gone. Good riddance. However, he was at least able to keep his country from spiraling into a civil war and his people from blowing themselves and scores others up in markets. (Another suicide bombing today, killing upwards of 82.) Granted, he might have been able to do this because he ran a brutal dictatorship...
