Iran, so easy

Paul Harvey announced that today we have sold Israel smart bombs and bunker busters so that they can dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities, with our blessing.

Israel did that in Iraq, which is why they were no nuclear threat to anyone.

If Israel will take it upon herself to solve our problem with Iran, the true nuclear threat, why have we gone to war in Iraq?

The only moral justifications I see now are:

Saddam Hussein's funding of suicide-bombers (why not Saudi Arabia, etc.?)
Saddam Hussein's torture (why not other dictators, et al?)

The real justifications seem to be:

Oil.
An inflated belief that we could democratize the nation easily.
A vendeta against Saddam.

None of these were the original reasons that congress authorized force.
