Does Bush really care about Iran?

Bush's interest in Iran is questionable.

On Sept. 30, President Biush signed into law H.R. 6198, the "Iran Freedom Support Act," which extends and amends the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996. It codifies certain existing sanctions against Iran, and authorizes assistance to support democracy in Iran.

The question is, who is the U.S. to state what the future of Iran should be?

While it may not be documented much in U.S. media, but Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, regardless of how much Bush dislikes him, was elected into power in Iran. Somehow, this is completely forgotten in coverage of Iran and it is made to seem as if he is some autocratic dictator.

Moreover, why is it predominantly Iran and the greater Middle East the area that is most in need of democracy? What about Africa? That continent is in much need of democracy as well. Why are such initiatives not drawn out for Africa? Africa seems to be forgotten in every circumstance. It seems the only reason why Africa is of no interest, is because they do not have any resources that are important to American interest.

We would be fooling ourselves if we were to believe that the U.S. really cared about the people in the Middle East.

Also, if Iran's nuclear program is a threat to the U.S. and Israel, what about North Korea, a country that has proclaimed to already have nuclear weapons? Isn't it a threat in the region and the world?

These questions must be answered and clarified before any U.S. armed action or economic sanctions can be seen as justified against Iran.
