is i too late for Iran?

A number of high placed oficials in the Bush administration have stataed that given the current political climate, the selling of an Invasion of Iran is too late.
Damn, just when we needed more dead moslems!
I understand the grief of 911, but how do more dead moslems appease this loss?
These are poor people, grovelling for water and grain. why do Americans insist on killing so many non combatants, and you do so without fear or grief!
I don't get it.
And I hope I never will.
