Maybe having the US on their doorstep has made them toe the line on their nuclear ambitiions..... Jumping in to Iran would be easy. Iraq had a much stronger army and we were invading from outside. Now we are camped next door. The Iranians are sweating, not us. They know we still remember the crap the Ayatollah pulled years ago....

Hell, if they went totally stupid and went after Israel, we could sit back and watch Israel annihilate them.

The reason is simple: With close to 190,000 American troops now in Iraq and Afghanistan, US military manpower is being stretched to the limit. A third front in Iran - or even a deterioration of the current situation in Iraq or Afghanistan, a mischief that Teheran is well capable of - would probably stretch those limits beyond the breaking point.
