For what it's worth, I think the "push towards war with Iran" is a stance being taken for diplomatic reasons, not something that the administration is actually moving towards. I know the left is very worried that this is build up to a new aggression, because of its similarities to Iraq. But from what I've been able to read and understand of foreign policy over there, it's simply important to our strategy to make noise about pursuing Iran, just as it's important to their strategy to make noise about nuclear programs and causing unrest in southern Iraq. What anybody is actually likely to do is very different.
