"We Have You Surrounded"

TigerHawk makes a surprisingly valid point: "Is it just me, or are we surrounding Iran from all sides? We're in the Persian Gulf, we're in Iraq, we're in Afghanistan, we're kind of in Turkey, we are now conducting raids in Pakistan, and we're trying awfully hard to be friends with Russia (though their current behavior is making that difficult)."

Well, yes. The Russia point is a hard sell, but other than that, it's fairly legitimate.
