This has all sorts of implications, most of which needed to be addressed anyways.

The Bush administration has chosen to move against the Revolutionary Guard Corps because of what U.S. officials have described as its growing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as its support for extremists throughout the Middle East, the sources said. The decision follows congressional pressure on the administration to toughen its stance against Tehran, as well as U.S. frustration with the ineffectiveness of U.N. resolutions against Iran's nuclear program, officials said.

The designation of the Revolutionary Guard will be made under Executive Order 13224, which President Bush signed two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to obstruct terrorist funding. It authorizes the United States to identify individuals, businesses, charities and extremist groups engaged in terrorist activities. The Revolutionary Guard would be the first national military branch included on the list, U.S. officials said -- a highly unusual move because it is part of a government, rather than a typical non-state terrorist organization.

The order allows the United States to block the assets of terrorists and to disrupt operations by foreign businesses that "provide support, services or assistance to, or otherwise associate with, terrorists."

That means we can start making life a bit more difficult for companies that do business with Iran's military unit. How long do we keep getting undermined and shot at by weapons provided by these people before we actually do something about it?

What's worse is that liberals seem to think that we're picking a fight with a completely innocent country here. But tell that to the family of a soldier who was murdered by an insurgent with a very expensive sniper rifle that was purchased by the Iranian government less than 45 days after it was purchased.

Iran's starting to get a bit too big for it's britches and if it continues, they will find out shortly what it means to take on the American military. Hell, if they continue with their nuclear program, they will find out just how ruthless the Israeli's can be.
