Well regarding Iraq, whole different theater.
Lets not forget Iraq and Iran were at wars for years on end.
When America went into Iraq Iran meddled, funded, trained and took as much advantage as it could for influence within Iraq by murdering and funding the murder of Sunni's.
THere were literal massacre's taking place and it was not at the hands of American bullet's. Shia were killing Sunni's like it was open season at a fish farm using dynamite.
So the protracted war was not just the Issue of Saddams forces, which rolled right over it was the aftermath that Iran wanted to take advantage of.
And to a degree Iran succeeded in insuring Shia rule within the Iraqi government.
WHich leads to the Kurds, Sunni's and Shia all in a state of near civil war.
When America pulls out it will be a blood bath which is why it must be done right to insure the typical Iraqi Civilian has a future.
