Meanwhile, one country over. Iran is developing 'nuclear power' for its people to use. While, Iraq keeps boasting that it has WMDs. Iran fearful that Saddam might be telling the truth rushes their workers to finish their nuclear program. When their about finished with their program, Saddam decides to invade (because no one wants a nuclear Iran definitely not Iraq). So, while the U.S. is bogged down in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran begin to attack one another, only this time one has nuclear capibilities.
I think you know what I'm getting at. Nothing helps motivate people than when there are enemies at the gates. So, in this scenrio we would have a nuclear Iran, a second Iran Iraq War, and the U.S. is still bogged down in the Middle East. But, of course this is all fiction none of it could have happened, right?
