I'm no expert, but: because you get almost two fronts just from having a huge border with Afghanistan, and a third front is easily negotiated for with Armenia instead of having an insane last-minute debacle with Turkey, and it's roughly 500 air miles to Teheran from both Kuwait and western Afghanistan.

Well WTF are they waiting for? I really wish they would get on with it, my truck's tank is 18 gallons (68 litres).
