Cart Before The Horse?

Articles like this one in Ha'aretz kind of make me worry a little. When combined with articles like this one about the US "warning" certain nations about human rights abuses, I start to wonder if we're not getting ahead ourselves (I do realize that Ha'aretz is Israeli).

So far, we have allegations, but not enough proof in my opinion to justify going to war against Syria or Iran. Now we're close to having proof in both cases, but we're just not quite there.

The Administration needs to focus on finishing the job in Iraq before it starts to even think about expanding the fight to other nations. Should we monitor events? Absolutely. But we need to make sure that we don't get ahead of ourselves here.

If the Administration believes it has proof, it needs to start making the case. But in the meantime, we need to make sure we finish the current fight the right way.
