Three times as large as Iraq, and highly mountainous - poor tank country. History teaches us that an insurgency with a lot of mountains to hide in probably can't be beat.

Iran has a large, mostly homogeneous population, with very few mutually-hostile armed factions like Iraq.

If George W. Bush was a colossal idiot for invading and occupying Iraq, there are no words awful enough to describe Trump if he dares to attack Iran.
