If could understand if Iraq struck back at the US. But kicking back at the US by seizing a British oil tanker or attacking Saudi civilians and Iraqi protestors?

1. I'm not saying they are good or rational people.

2. This is the only leverage they have. Do you want them to do drone strikes on the U.S. soil?

I just think there's more going on than merely kicking back at the US. They're even cracking down on protestors inside Iran.
