Iraq USED to keep Iran in check...

If Iran could wipe out Israel they would.


NO... they wouldn't, IMO. The hardline govt. likes to talk big... but in the end it's just talk. The people of Iran are very pro-western and would like nothing more than to live in peace and prosperity. Plus, HOW would Iran "wipe out" Israel? With nukes? VERY unlikely! By a conquering ground assault? VERY unlikely! There's NO WAY that Iran could establish and maintain the logistics to occupy Israel... AND they know we would NEVER allow it.
