Well, Saddam committed an atrocity when he converted to Euro sometimes in 2000. The die was cast for him. The same case is truth for Iran.

Perhapes, the US administration desired a confrontration with Tehran if everything went smoothly in Iraq. It didnt. In case of Iran, I presume the current administartion in Washington sees its window oppertunity closing fast - if not already close - on the subject of Iran, and if the government in Tehran plays its cards right, they can avoid war by the end of Bush's term. That means, no more capturing of occupier forces in Iraq and things like that.
