They would not invade Iraq because they care about Iraq. They would invade Iraq because it would force our troops to stop worrying about insurgents and rebuilding and security and stability in Iraq.

They are not going to throw themselves on a sword and risk their own annihilation simply to get back at us. They risk losing most of their military by doing that...making them vulnerable to overthrow from within. They cannot gain from such a scenerio.
And regardless, Iran + nukes = unacceptable. One North Korea is enough.

Of the alternative is allowing Iran to arm themselves with nukes, then it is a mess we will have to deal with.

All with troop numbers barely able to handle their current job. Sure, they may do nothing, but if I were them that's what I'd do.

Then I guess we have to hope they are not as suicidal as you seem to be.
