Douglas -- I can't keep score anymore... :)

- acquiring top of the line weapon systems from the Russians
- relationship between Iran and the western powers will develop
- Iran would likely defeat Iraq


It's like we've gone full circle ... wasn't it the U.S. back in the early seventies that originally armed the Iranians? From what I understand, after the Brits pulled out of the ME in 1968 the Americans undertook what's considered the biggest and most rapid build-up of military power in “peace-time” history. The U.S. supplied Iran with over $20 billion in sophisticated weapons between the years of 1970-78.

So unless the Russians have weapons that are far superior to the American ones already procured, a war with Iraq would probably give us the same results of what we’ve already seen.
