#3 Although the Iranians are not natural supporters of the Taliban, they have been willing to assist them in the past to prevent Britain and the US gaining influence in the region.

Whatever it takes to kill infidels ...

#5 Iranians keep acting like they can fight these little proxy wars with us and the Israelis. It's almost like they think they're as big and bad as the old Soviet Union so they can get away with it. I wouldn't have thought that would be the case but apparently it is.

#12 I suspect this isnt such a big deal. Anything the Iranians could have done to hurt us severely, theyve already done in Iraq. And failed miserably. The counter to shoulder-fired missiles is round-the-clock Predator and Global Hawk coverage of air routes, backed up with either UAV or manned aircraft missile strikes against SAM teams.
