The odds of Bush bombing Iran have gone up dramatically this week. There's just no other way to rationally interpret the resignation of Admiral William Fallon as head of Centcom.

An American nuclear submarine has crossed the Suez Canal to join the US fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf, Egyptian sources say. Egyptian officials reported that the nuclear submarine crossed the canal along with a destroyer on Friday and Egyptian forces were put on high alert when the navy convoy was passing through the canal.

Robin Wright reports for The Washington Post, "President Bush said Thursday that Iran has declared that it wants to be a nuclear power with a weapon to 'destroy people,' including others in the Middle East, contradicting the judgments of a recent US intelligence estimate."

As we observe the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, I am sad — and angry — to report that we are on the brink of war yet again, this time with Iran. Sad for all the obvious reasons: the pointless, tragic deaths; the wanton destruction; the horrific costs of a few men’s hubris. And, yes, angry, because no one seems to have learned the lessons of the last war — not even those who said that if they knew then what they know now, they would never have supported or voted for war with Iraq...

Five years on, and still we have not learnt. With each anniversary, the steps crumble beneath our feet, the stones ever more cracked, the sand ever finer. Five years of catastrophe in Iraq and I think of Churchill, who in the end called Palestine a ‘hell-disaster.’ But we have used these parallels before and they have drifted away in the Tigris breeze. Iraq is swamped in blood. Yet what is the state of our remorse? Why, we will have a public inquiry — but not yet! If only inadequacy was our only sin...

The next US president must reject the juvenile Bush vision, reach out to Iran and seek justice for the Palestinian people.
