#3 He sees an America that is weakened by the war in Iraq but still potent. He has told visitors that United States' and Iran's goals in Iraq are similar, despite the rhetoric of confrontation.
I noted that the article said he backed down when Petraeus told him to knock off shelling the Green Zone so he's not completely stupid.
