Are you suggesting for even one second that Iran has or can have a military that would be competitive with ours? If so, you're out of your mind. I do think, however, that they are strong enough to bloody our nose if we attacked them...that's why Bush's sabre rattling is only bluster. He knows the American people would tar and feather him for a disaster like that which would be one of choice.

re:" Each time it surfaces it is more in number and better equipped. If you really want to know it's potential, check out Moktada Al-Sadrs agenda and his agenda and very real shadow government in Southern Iraq."

And these are people that threaten us?????? Have you any idea of the technological superiority we have over them? They're spear chuckers by comparison. I do think that suicide bombers are a pretty sophisticated weapon but they are of very limited use. Essentially useless in an offensive war. I invite you to review the cold war of the 50's to the 80's....nothing exists today that can compare to it. The scenario you describe is little more than accumulating spears....
