By golly, McGrath, you are right! It IS Gulf War III.

Sort of like what happened with "First Blood", which was actually Rambo I. They just didn't realize it at the time.

Interestingly enough, the Saddam character was one of the main Good Guys in Gulf War I (Iran-Iraq war), while Ayatollah Kohmeini played the Head Honcho Heavy...and WHAT a nasty Bad Guy he was! Sheer casting genius.

Unfortunately, Kohmeini passed away of old age awhile after that, so the Good Guys never got to gun him down. That's a box office tragedy, if you ask me. Maybe he could be recreated through cloning or digital techology, just in time for GULF WAR IV (Return to Teheran).
