"Ali Shamkhani, the Iranian Defence Minister, said the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is no threat to Tehran; on the contrary, he said, American soldiers are now Iran\'s hostages."
That type of attitude might lead to glow in the dark Iranians. Do they not understand that we have missles (sub based) that can hit Iran?
This is one thing I think Bush really got right - Iran, Iraq and N. Korea = axis of evil.
Sure Iraq was the weakest of the three, but given time they would have ended up becoming another Iran and N. Korea.
