Invading Iran from Iraq would likely leave our butts hanging out in a not-quite-trustworthy government there. With libya and a host of other nations still in the arab camp, what's to prevent a coalition of arabic dictators from attacking the US once it has shaken the Iranian serpent. No; I see strategic planning here. Pacify a few, invade a few; destabilize a few. No one to flank us then
What's to stop them from getting together and attacking us now?

They hate each other, some have an interest in selling us overpriced oil while worming us into position to do their dirty work on our dime while pointing fingers at "aggressor Americans"

Their collective leadership consists of thuggish calculating assholes who can't field an effective army, but egg their citizens on against us just enough to take domestic attention off their corrupt dictatorships. And our government generally kisses their asses.
