If we did that, Hawk...to control Tehran's goals in Iraq... what leverage would we have over France when the time came to lift the sanctions?

It strikes me that the US goal was to rid the region of a totalitarian state, not replace it with a equally oppressive and backward theocratic regime possessing no desire to create democratcy in Iraq. It strikes me that the stated goal of the US was to rid Iraq of posession of WMD, and becoming a threat in the War on Terorism. If the Iraqi people choose to have a theocratic government, thats their choice, and frankly, its none of the US' business, as long as they are not a threat to US National Security.
