Well unlike Pakistan, Iran actually has some balls.

What kind of an absurd statement is that? Why in the world did you mention Pakistan here? Do you want our forces, who I might add are already confronting the Indian forces, to goto Iraq and start invading and annexing land? If you want to take about bravery, have a look at our armed forces and how they are crushing the Indian plans of dominance, despite being outnumbered. Think before you make these anti-Pakistani hate mongering statements. And like seeker said, I am so glad you went and checked ;)

Average am thingie,

Mr Fruadia has eluded to the East India Trading Company, and no they were not evil and neither is American foreign policy, the British just wanted to sell tea.

The Americans, as you say are just doing business..and what fine job they're doing too taking war-mongering to new heights.

God Bless the Bush.

Oh yes Iran, very little chance that Iran will be allowed to get up to much inside Iraq...afterall they're next item on the US 'business' agenda.

and YES......

May your East India Company thrive.. everywhere.

It "thrived" in past, and we have a big time mess just because of that British company doing business. Pak-Ind-Kashmir.

After WWII, another big time mess showed up on the world map, and that was Israel.

I hope this "business" does not result in another big time mess. In one way, it already is a big mess.

With reports coming in that the American's are facing much stiffer than expected resistance in the mostly-Shia dominated South of Iraq, I wonder if Glorious Iran is invoved indirectly? :)

I don't think they need to help Saddam, but rather the 15 million Shia Muslims of Iraq whom the American's don't particularly want to rule over Iraq. The Shia's must resist this at all costs, and it seems they are.

I heard that the US-UK forces fired missiles into Iran, and then blamed it on Iraq? This war is getting messier not necassarily shorter...
