Do you think the Iranian Revolutionary guard would dare roll their tanks across the borders into Jordan and Iraq? With thousands of laser guided missles poised overhead and from GPS coordinates supplied to the Naval Strike Force...I think not...they'd be "fighting" on our terms.

Agreed. One of my friends over here is convinced that once the US leaves Iraq, our military will depart the entire Gulf region, with the eventual result being a major regional civil war as the Shias try to take Mecca and Medina from the Sunnis. To me that sounds ridiculous. I don't think even Kuwait is in much danger of invasion Shia attack. Trying to stabilize Iraq in its current guerilla environment is a lot more difficult than drawing a line in the sand and declaing whoever or whatever crosses it will get obliterated.
