The revolution in Iran did have an effect on oil production, but there is little reason to think that it had a bigger impact long term on Iranian production than a war that lasted 8 years if I recall correctly. So my opinion is that Saddam has been a big impact on Iranian production since invading Iran. I dont know why you would be laughing if you think Iraq is going to be a long term quagmire. We will figure out what works and get Iraq on its feet. Our military demands in Iraq will decrease over time but I imagine we will have a strong presence there for 10-20 years. Iraq was invaded to free the Iraqi's of being contained in Saddam's country of terror, to provide a beacon of hope and light in the center of the hopeless and destructive Muslim world and to provide a larger oil supply to offset SA production. As you can see the beacon of hope developing in Iraq is attracting the areas terrorists who are extremely threatened by the changes in Iraq. Better they are attracted to the light in Iraq and zapped then to have them wandering free to target the provider of the light. Progress towards these objectives is not measured in weeks, but maybe quarters.
