sinanjuAs described by Frank Martin in the comments at Vodkapundit (http://www.vodkapundit.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=6485):
You wake up in Tehran, 300 miles to your east is a border with an American occupied country. 125 miles to the north, an American occupied country, to your west, another American occupied country.
Your waterways and shorelines are full of big gray ships, any one of which has more firepower than you're entire navy and coastal patrol. Every day 4 times a day, untouchable satellites in space fly over and map every single thing in your country, every bit of electromagetic spectra that can be gathered, is, and its poured over by faceless people in langley virginia, whos full time job it is to determine what those tracks in the farmers field lead to, secret lab? or missle silo?. And you know you cant do a thing about it.
These people, the Americans, have the largest population of Persians anywhere in the world outside of Iran. These people, The Americans, have destroyed your Sunni enemies whom you fought a war for 10 years that ended with the death of millions on both sides, The Americans have beaten that enemy to an utter and complete collapse on two separate occasions, but the last one was so fast, that it now holds the worlds records for "speed of rout".
Iranian mullahs wake up every morning and right after before prayers ask themselves:
If they can do that to the Iraqis, and the Afghanis, what will they do to us?
They ask this while little white airplanes with long white wings fly silently over their capital unmolested, while American F-14A's which were sold to Shah sit on the ramp, missing spare parts or pilots qualified to fly them. F-14As in the US being long retired as museum pieces.
The mullahs wonder if Iran will ever be able to produce an aircraft of the same quality. Iranian kids wonder if they will ever be able to produce pencils of such quality that Iranians will at least be able to draw pictures of great aircraft.
They wonder how many spies and provacateures are coming into Iran via tha Haj to Mecca and the occupied city of Najaf.
They wonder if the North Koreans will sell them out.
They wonder if Pakistan will sell them out.
They wonder if their kids will turn out in great numbers and kill them all.
They wonder - if today will be the day they find out.
Heh.
