#1 Once the Iranians get the bomb, you will see more of these types of "border disputes"...maybe even in Trinidad.

#2 " "We call for calm and for a peaceful solution to this matter, far from any military escalation," Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told Reuters Television in Baghdad."

translation: They have us scared.

Try parking an Iraqi Platoon and a Tank beside the well under the Iranian Fort's walls. See if they will fire on it. Have an air strike ready for five minutes later.

say it was all a "misunderstanding" which will be true. Make sure there are no survivors in the Fort. Occupy the ruins. Build a road out to it and run up the flag. If they want to fight let them show their stuff.
See if Iran can get the support of anyone inside their young people or if the whole world gives a sh8t. Iraq can see if their military is worth anything or if its full of the "usual" Moslem soldiers.

Of course if the Iraqi military IS full of Islam that would explain the smell of piss coming from Baghdad.
