And yet, when people tell you to "get a life", I doubt this is what they
have in mind..

It has occurred to me that the time is coming when it would make sense (to
them) for Iran to invade Iraq to "restore order". Iran could easily put a
half-million invasion force into Iraq with hardly any resistance. They'd
probably succeed in restoring order too. The small US contingent would be
overrun (and probably even fought by the native Shiites).

The Americans are ready to fight the a joint force of Iranians and Iraqis?
Lots of Iraqis want the Americans out and if the Iranians make that their
only goal, they will have vast support. "Relieve Iraq of the
Americans" can be their rallying cry.

The Iranians wouldn't be attacking the Iraqis, they would be attacking us.
And how will we look fighting to retain *our* control of Iraq, while
killing numerous Iraqis "defending their country"?

Anda lot of those Iraqis would fight on our side. They realize that we are
not there to destroy them, they want our support, not all, but many of the
new military would fight with our troops.

Bru is forgetting that the Iraqi clerics have now taken over control of
the Iraqi masses, and our "carefully cultivated" politicians have been
largely sidelined - in part on the basis of having been foisted upon the
Iraqis by America. With the clerics in control, few Iraqis will fight on
our side. They'll just use the arms and training we've given them against
us.
And how would we escalate our troop committment to a half million on the
day this coup occurs? Maybe atom-bomb Teheran first? Then what would
happen?
It would not be an "Iranian Invasion". It would be Iran coming to the aid
of their Iraqi compatriots to restore order under the Iraqi clerics.

re #98, Cross also doesn't recognize the fact that we have military
shortages. We have already called up most all of our reserve units
for tours, and reverse activated veteran military and paid off current
soldiers to take second or third tours. There is this illusion that
we have an inexhaustible supply of soldiers, and we do not.
Which is one reason why won't invade North Korea, even if they have
ten times the WMD's as Iran and make much clear their intentions,
because we can't wage wars in Iraq/Iran and North Korea at the same
time. We don't have enough soldiers.

I should add that my invented scenario of "Iran coming to the aid
of their Iraqi compatriots to restore order under the Iraqi clerics" is just
what I can imagine. The cleric governing Iran would could be much more
inventive.

There is more to north Korea than just there weapons. South Korea is very
much not in favor of war with their relatives to the north.

..and for a number of very good reasons, including:
1) many people in South Korea well remember the devastation caused
by the last war.
2) many (most?) families in South Korea have relatives in North Korea.
3) North Korea has huge artillery arrays within range of Seoul that are
believed to be capable of pretty much levelling the capital and killing
millions.
