America has long since given up on what's fair and legal. Gitmo, Abu Ghraib and revenge attacks on civilians in Iraq are evidence of that.
Iran is next on Bush's list. But he wont send ground troops in - the Iranians will fight back, unlike the Iraqi army.
He'll order airstrikes from 2 miles up just before the next election, then he'll run for Crawford, hunker down in his fallout shelter, and blame the ensuing carnage on whoever follows him into the Whitehouse.
Sy Hersh knows.
