That is why we supported Saddams secular regime. He was our guard dog, until Bush Sr fucked up that relationship.
However, there is a social revolution going on inside Iran. Many Iranians are adopting more western ideals. The live in a police state, and it's still dangerous to express it, but it's true. The clerics are losing influence. The country is slowly, naturally, changing from the inside and, if we exercise some patience, war shouldn't be necessary.
Infact, an invasion would probably be counter productive.
