Update #1 Bush's war pony express

Anyone who sensed that United States President George Walker Bush was calling for a wider war in his war rally speech on 10 January 2007 is right on the mark. I hope the world's worst fears about a regional or perhaps world war are not realized. I am concerned that Bush is fixin' to get us into something far beyond the quagmire in Iraq, something nobody will be able to stop once it is started or get us out of. It is imperative to put a halter on Bush's war pony express.

Bush Warns Iran: ‘I Recently Ordered The Deployment Of An Additional Carrier Strike Group To The Region’ [Think Progress] 2007/01/10

What is the difference between what the U.S. is doing to Iranian diplomats in Iraq and what Iran Revolutionary Guards did to American diplomats in Tehran in 1979?

The bottom line question is Bush trying to goad Iran into some sort of action that he can use as a pretext to attack their nuclear facilities and attempt to effect "regime change" in Iran?

US forces have stormed an Iranian consulate in the northern Iraqi town of Irbil and seized five members of staff.

The troops raided the building at about 0300, taking away computers and papers, according to Kurdish media and senior local officials.

The US military had no immediate comment on the raid, which comes amid high tension between Iran and the US.
