Not necessarily. We don't have the military option to engage another theater at this point in time, and no one else has the willingness to take on Iran. The UN is useless. I think that one reason why the US will remove as many troops from Iraq as soon as possible, is to exert credible pressure on Iran and/or North Korea.
If the US was truly trying to just let internal democratic reform manifest inside Iran, it would support internal and external opposition to a far greater degeree than what is currently happening.
Personally, I don't think that the Bush Administration has a cogent policy towards Iran.
