Was that meant to be an insult to all Iraqis or just to me? If so, you need to work on it. Perhaps you meant to say: "At least Iraq is LESS impressive than Iran." In any event, in my lifetime I have seen first hand Saddam's military and the Iranian military in action, and I have seen truly modern and professional militaries in action. Neither Saddam's military nor the Iranian military were truly modern nor professional.
The current Iraqi military is rebuilding and, God willing, will develop into a truly modern and professional military capable of protecting all Iraqi people without being an aggressive threat to our neighbors.
Iranians are the Texans of the Middle East in that everything they have is bigger and better than anyone else has. Unfortunately for them, Iran is not Texas.
