I don't really see the war with Iran happening anymore; unless the Military has a lot in the works that they're keeping quiet. Even the Bush administration is realizing how war-weary the nation is getting. An invasion into Iran would guarantee a Democratic victory as is, and the money is drying up fast. Yes yes, they can artificially inflate it indefinately to continuously finance these foolish escapades, but even the Republicans can't ignore the record debt they're in any more. It boggles my mind to this day that the US can (apparently) afford hundreds of billions of dollars for wars left, right, and center; yet need a congressional dispute to decide if they can afford $4 billion for some school infrastructure.
