Combat is no longer an idea of massed armies marching off to face a fielded foe. This conclusion causes generals grief all over the world, no more so than within the United States' Pentagon. Watching the swiftness of the American modern Army move into Afghanistan and Iraq, Iran took note. Despite Iran's conventional military win against Iraq in the 1980s, another way had to exist to combat the technologically superior American military. Iran's solution to combat the American military was to remove them from the fight. Iran is in the midst of waging an awesome asymmetric campaign to roll back American superiority the world over. Lead by their president and clerics, Iran is amassing global support and not military might to defeat the Americans. The United States is faced with a daunting challenge in dealing with Iran, either face the country militarily or find a more peaceful solution. Careful analysis needs to determine Iran's true intentions and the correct Western response.
