The Iranians hate their government more than the Iraqis did Sadaam. You take out their military and the Iranian government has nothing to secure its ruling position. The result is revolution.

There wasn't much evidence that the Iraqis would pick up arms and fight the Ba'athists, and you've seen how that turned out. There's even less evidence that the Iranians will welcome an American military assault and pick up arms in war against the mullahs.

We aren't fighting Iraqis much anymore. They do not make a majority of the insurgent forces. We are fighting the turds from next door (Iran, Syria)and from all around the Mid-east.
