Today, Reuters reports that the USA's intelligence agents do not believe that they nor their grandchildren will be able to pay off the sub-prime mortgages that will be needed to rebalance the US trade defecit that a second occupation will cost the U.S. economy.
Some highlights from the Reuters story:
Iran had a nuclear weapons program but halted it in 2003 and had not restarted it as of mid-2007. The halt applied to design and engineering of an explosive device, such as fuses or shielding, and to covert uranium-conversion activities, according to senior intelligence officials. Other activities such as civilian uranium enrichment and missile development continue.
The weapons program was halted in response to international pressure, meaning Tehran may be more susceptible to influence than previously thought.
Any production of highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons would probably take place at a covert facility rather than a declared nuclear site. Covert enrichment programs were probably halted in 2003 and had not been restarted as of mid-2007.

That goes for the White House too.
