"the Iran/Iraq war in which both sides used chemical weapons and produced over a million casualties" Ovadiah

Wrong! Iran never used Chemical Weapons during that war or any other. Stop with the lies already, it isn`t that hard to do fact checks before posting propaganda and embarrassing yourself. Despite Iran NOT using CW, it ended up having over 100,000 victims of chemical weapons (sold to saddam by the west), the largest ever reported in the history of mankind. Here`s a report by Center for Non-proliferation Studies:

As of now, Iran has SIGNED and is FOR the ban of biological and chemical weapons, as well as cluster munition (which both the US and Israel are absent on the list of signatories).

As for your so-called assessment of Middle East being "calmer", I don`t know where to begin with you! The bush`s doctrine got rid of the two enemies of Iranian mullahs (taliban and saddam) and hence empowered that regime.
