Anyone ever read Tom Clancy's book "Executive Orders"? Ok, ok, I admit his books are nothing but mindless entertainment but hey, they can be fun to read from time to time. Anyhow, in this book the enemy is the newly formed country of The United Islamic Republic. This country was formed after Iran invades Iraq, following an assaination of the Iraqi President, and the fact that Iraq was weakened by years of the U.S. fucking with it.

Anyhow, I can easily see why other countries in the region would support the U.S. going after Iran right now. Iraq is so fucked up they are about to implode. Certainly if we were to just pack up and pull out, the entire place would go to hell and Iran could walk right in. Like Zimzum said, "no matter how they feel about the US, do not want Iran to become the "dominant" power of the area as well."

Bottom line, Iran is poised to set itself up as a giant fundementalist Islamic state, one that could dominate the entire regoin and become a bigger threat than anything we've encountered so far. All courtesy of George "Dubya" Bush.
