I disagree that Saddam Hussein is our only enemy. Osama bin Laden and Kim Jung Il, in my mind, remain serious threats.
However, the rest of your post is dead on. It's also a restatement of the "Powell Doctorine". And I'm convinced that Bush will ignore it, just as he ignored it in Afghanistan. And I'm also convinced that Afghanistan will become a problem in 5-10 years because he ignored it.
