I can't help but agree and say that so far this is following the Iraq blueprint:

1)- Demonize the Leader of the Country
2)- Claim he has or is after WMD
3)- Dictate that the country's populace needs to be free
4)- Impose ineffective sanctions
5)- Escalate the rhetoric
6)- I think we know what happens next...

They must just have an "Axis of Evil" guidebook that they're looking at.
