WMDs, sanctions, and deja vu

Last weekend, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution calling on Iran to comply fully with its previous resolutions ordering that Tehran stop uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities and cooperate with UN weapons inspectors.

Does this not sound familiar?

Remember six years ago, when the UN weapons inspectors were doing their thing in Iraq, and that wasn't good enough for a certain U.S. president who ignored their findings (or lack thereof) and twisted the facts in order to justify a preemptive attack on that country?

With many of us bracing for a possible "October surprise", this makes me just a little bit nervous.
