<The primary goal of Persia's foreign policy stretching back a millennium has been far simpler than anything the United States has cooked up: Destroy Mesopotamia. In 2003, the United States was courteous enough to handle that for Iran. >

The USA whacked the tar baby. Perhaps King George II should have read The Arabian Nights before stomping around killing Saddam. It's all about shifting alliances. It would have been far better to line up a NewUN, reconstituted to something fitting for the 21st century and self-determining people rather than a World War II Victor's Club; as recommended by Mq BEFORE the foolish Cow wandered into the mess. It's like China wandering off into TD-SCDMA = self-destructive and achieving nothing much worthwhile.

Another century of carnage might be the choice. Most of the world seems to prefer that idea. With 6 billion of us, there's plenty of scope for carnage with a lot left over to carry on. Heck, just in China we could kill off a billion people and still leave 6 x the peak of the Yang dynasty glories. That would cut down on traffic jams in Beijing and improve parking in Hong Kong.
