Predicted effects of invading Iran

• End to Iranian nuclear weapon research
• "Regime change" in two of three "Axis of Evil" rogue nations[?] (the others being Iraq (already invaded) and North Korea (more general conflict)[?].
• Stability in Iraq due to inability of Southern Shi'ite population to unite politically with co-religionists in Iran.
• Modern Islamic philosophy begins to tend to more peaceful traditions than the militant Islamist schools presently dominant.
• etc.

By detractors:

• Perception of "USA vs. Islam[?]" as real agenda of G. W. Bush
• Breakdown of United Nations Security Council and NATO unity
• Perception by North Korea that talking to, or cooperating with, other nations is simply part of a strategy designed to get it to disarm itself or stand by as troops are marshalled nearby, and then invade it after abrupt cut off of negotiations.
• etc.
