Is Bush Planning an Assault on Iran?

Paper Summary:

This essay considers whether the foreign policy of President George Bush is leading towards an attack on Iran. The paper presents a brief history of relations between the two countries, suggesting that most of the problems with Iranian leadership today stem from U.S. treatment of the country in the past. The paper considers the likelihood of a U.S. attack on Iran in light of the U.S. led war against Iraq and looks at general public opinion in the U.S. regarding another war in the Middle East.

From the Paper:

"Is the Bush Administration secretly planning to invade Iran with ground forces, or launch sudden preemptive air strikes, in a calculated attack on the Islamic nation that Bush has called "a rogue nation"? Will it be an attack similar to the one which the U.S. launched its assault on Iraq? Is attacking Iran a good idea, strategically or in terms of international diplomacy? And what evidence is there that would indicate an American plan as provocative as an attack on Iran, in particular given the disastrous, seemingly endless war the U.S. finds itself bogged down with in Iraq? These are questions that cry out for answers in an unstable world that looks to the U.S. for leadership but sees the world's most influential superpower acting the role of a bully. "
