America's replacement "enemy" after Iraq.

An argument against this idea is that just recently the U.S. administration announced that the real issue in the area was actually Afghanistan. So there is not yet a need for another enemy--we have created enough as it is.

I am aware that "everything that goes wrong in the world is Amerika's fault" (similar to "everything wrong with the computer industry is Microsoft's fault"), but in order to minimize the need to point out America-bashing, I would ask that there be some consideration to other global players in the area. For example, Russia, India, Europe, China. I'm not arguing, just asking for some brief consideration before blaming this particular situation directly on the CIA or Cheney--evil as they may be.
