Very. See, Iran has been fingered by GW as a villan, yet they are a strawman. Well not really, as evidence shows. But never mind that, GW is trying to get us into a war, because of Israel. Well Israel has been targeted over and over again by Hizbollah, an Iran proxy. Well, no not true, well maybe, but not. It's Israel's fault that the Palestinians still do not have a country, so there. Well they do sort of cause problems via Hamas, a proxy of Hizbollah, but moving along...

Then again...

Iran likely does not want a direct confrontation with American troops in

The Quds (pronounced "KOHds") Force — the name means "Jerusalem" in Farsi and Arabic — is the most elite and covert of Iran's military branches. Over the past two decades, the corps is believed to have helped arm and train the Hezbollah guerrilla group in Lebanon, Islamic fighters in Bosnia and
Afghanistan, and even Sudanese troops fighting in south Sudan...
