No, we don't, nor we do we have the money or troops for one. Unfortunately, within the past few months we've seen the Middle East become a much more volatile place, with various nations now posing actual potential threats that may need to be addressed, unlike the made-up claims used to incite the Iraq debacle.
Personally, I think that behind closed doors the Bush administration realizes that it has f***ed up big time with Iraq, and that it doesn't have any political capital left to spend on other "freedom-spreading" endeavors. Hence the very cautious, diplomatic reactions to the current situations in Iran, Palestine and elsewhere. Can you imagine the White House taking such a delicate tone three years ago in response to these various revelations and upheavals? Bush & pals know they have neither the manpower nor the funding nor the public support to launch any more extensive military adventures.
