Heard the news? Bush said, that he could invade Iran, if government of this country won't prove their cleanity in weapons of mass destruction. I think (and there are lot of such people), that war in Muslim countries (like Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia etc.) is suicide. You probably know about Chechnya in our country.
Muslims have their own viewing and comprehension of the world based on their religion, and if you declared war on such fanatic country (and in Middle East there are all like that), you will be destroyed. Here's an example: Americans will probably stay in Iraq just like we in Afghanistan. The terrorists with their attacks will finally force US to take measures. Our measure in Afghanistan was withdrawing forces from this country. What will do Americans?
I don't think, that they will act in more or less democratic way, which means withdrawing. Invade in Iraq costed money and had secondary target - oil. So the only way to deal with terrorists, when they finally ruin you, is to introduce shooting all without exception. Muslims is a nation of potential terrorists. Their religion preaching terror, which is well known in word "gazavat" (well, at least we, Russians, pronounce it like that, though more popular is synonim "dzhihad"). Actually, I heard speech of Muslim priest, and he told, that this "gazavat" don't intend violence or war actions. Muslim "holy war against wrongs (peolpe of not Muslim faith)" intends preach against all that (wrong) religions. He meant, that this war have only one weapon - word.
But some damn extremists perverted the truly words of their prophet and use the religion as a shield in their terroristic acts against the Jews (in Israel) and other nations (you are remember 11.09.2001). Had to be said, that this meaning of "holy war" appeared long ago, couple of years after Magomed death. Thus, nowadays that "holy war" means only terror, even in eyes of respectable Muslim priests in our country (I heard such speech on TV just when US invaded Iraq). So I think Americans should take care of Iraq and then think about other plans. But, like I said, it is improbable to take control in Iraq. If country had less area, than maybe, but Iraq is not very small. So, to make a conclusion, Americans have a BIG problem and I don't think that they'll deal with it.
