Document discovered that outlines plot to orchestrate war between the United States and Iran

<Source: StarTribune, at: http://www.startribune.com/722/story/494515.html>

According to the StarTribune, documents found in the home of al-Zarquawi's house suggest that, among other plans, there was a potential operation designed to force a war between America and Iran.  Furthermore, there is evidence that such a war was determined to be one of the most effective ways to destabilize this country's efforts against Iraq.

Several things can be derived from this information.  First, if it is the assessment of our enemies that a war with Iran would severely weaken our country in ways previously unimagined, then we will be well served to ensure that we do not play into such a ploy.  Second, we need to ensure that the evidence used in the examination of Iran's capacity for weaponry is genuine and not of a suspicious origin. 

These caveats seem obvious given the results of the Iraq war, but the specific content of this document reaffirms the United States' need to tread carefully while wielding the fine blade of reason when approaching international policies regarding Iran and Iraq.

I apologize for the shortness of my analysis, but I have not slept in over 50 hours and it is time that I reinvigorated my mind.

I would think that Al-Zarqawi's office wouln't be the only place you'd find plans to start a war between the US and Iran, I apologize, but I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist and Iraq seemed far to convenient a target after 9/11 and Iran seems far too convenient a target now.
