Iranian political leaders say they'll do whatever it takes to fight U.S. soldiers if they invade Iran.

Will the next war we remember on Memorial Day be Iran?

Back in 2001, George W. Bush brought up the "axis of evil" - Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. We're now in a war in Iraq and talk from the White House lately has raised the possibility of military strikes against Iran.

This week we'll explore why political relations between Iran and the U.S. are so strained, and explore the constitutional questions raised by the possibility of a U.S. war in Iran.

Host: Christy George

Guests: John Damis, Portland State University director of Middle East Studies Center, Portland State University; and Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield.
