The reasons for invading Iraq in 2003 have been debated and analyzed in full.

The other alternative is whether the US can come to terms with Iran, to stop its onslaught to rule the whole region. Again, the answer is not. The US cannot reach this goal since Iran is too revisionist, too ambitious to stop, too inflamed with the belief of its religious superiority to come true, and visions the strategic balance in favor of her.
