    I'm not sure I get your point - I said that Iran's ideology is vastly different to our own, but that they run a functional government nonetheless.

    An Iranian guy once told me a joke.

    Mossad, the CIA and the Iranian Intelligence service decide to hold a contest. Each team must go out, wrestle bears and bring them back alive. The first team to come back is Mossad. They have one bear each, beaten unconscious and carried on their backs. All of the bears but one die over their injuries soon after they return. A bit later the CIA team come back. They have one bear tied up and hooded in a high tech cage they have presumably assembled from the contents of their packs.

    There is a long wait. Mossad and the CIA decide the Iranians aren't coming back and start to pack up. Suddenly the Iranians return. They have a dear on a leash, looking very scared and clearly badly beaten. The dear says "I'm a bear! I'm a bear!"

    I think that joke tells you a lot.

    I think the most likely scenario would be something like this:

    USA: Bad NK! We are gonna invade! Booya!

    China: If you do, we will demand you pay your debt to us.

    USA: That would totally fsck our economy man!

    China: So don't do it then.

    USA: Lets get Iran! Booya!
