It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

They fought for many, many years to a bloody stalemate with Iraq.

It might take a whole 3 weeks to take the place.

It took a bit longer than 3 weeks to defeat Iraq, about two and a half months. Occupying Iran will also be more difficult since the population isn't fractioned like Iraq, but largely homogeneous and very nationalistic. If we invade, Iran will fall in short order like Iraq did, but the cost will be much higher in lives on both sides.

I'm not too familiar with that conflict, however didn't the United States support Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War? Surely that would have had something to do with it?

Iraq fought it as mainly a defensive war in what really was a "non-war".  Iraq put out millions of land mines and then supplimented the mines with thousands of machine gun batterys in sand bag defenses.  Iran sent (basically) high school kids with little or no training into the "holy war" to run into the minefields, get blown up and machine gunned--lather-rinse repeat ad infinitum until they realized it was futile.  The US did little to arm Saddam, who they already knew at that time was no better than the Iahtollahs in Iran fueling the fight.

Iraq did little as far as offensive maneuvers except in localized areas where they had intel that told them the Iranians might be planning an offensive themselves.  Iraq got most of it's tanks and weaponry from the then-Soviet Union.  Many of those 80's era tanks and jets were falling apart during the first gulf war--and most of the tanks were used as dug-in defensive positions in the second gulf war.  Some Iraqi pilots upped their birds and defected to Iran in the first gulf war.

The US DID fund weapons for the Mujahadin in Afghanistan against the Soviets.

Iran has been strutting and sabre-rattling the last couple of years for a good reason.  There are US and coalition forces on both the Iraq and Afghan borders.  If the US forces wanted, Iran would be in a 2 front war from the word go.  They are scared excrementless and their sham leader Achmaattentionpotato is getting his people fired up.  Getting on the world stage and saying he's going to nuke Isreal isn't all that smart either.  If you look back in history since the 50's, countries that messed with Isreal ended up on the short end of the stick.

"WND
Poll: Iranians want regime change
74% think U.S. presence increases chances for freedom
Posted: June 12, 2005

© 2009 WorldNetDaily.com



A scientific public opinion survey of Iranians shows most want regime change in their country and 74 percent believe the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq increases the chances they will be able to overthrow their Shiite theocracy.

The survey, which was the first of its kind, found two-thirds of Iranians believe that regime change in Iraq has been a positive for both neighboring countries: with 66 percent believing that it served Iran's national interests, while 65 percent believed the Iraqi people will, in the long-run, be better off. "



Looks to me that a vast majority of the Iranian people want what everyone else does, real freedom.
