That's a cute way of looking at it, but not really what is going on.

As Petraeus testifies, Baghdad teeters on edge of erupting - Yahoo! News
BAGHDAD — Army Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker were critical of Iran when they testified Tuesday before the Senate , barely giving credit for an Iranian-brokered cease-fire that curbed the killing after a week of Shiite-on-Shiite bloodshed in southern Iraq and Baghdad .
As they spoke, firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr threatened to unleash his Mahdi Army militia against U.S. and Iraqi forces.

Saber Rattling Over Iran
By hardening Iran's national resolve around its nuclear program, the
Administration is narrowing the choices to war or capitulation.
Saner voices must offer an alternative to the Administration's endgame: an
alternative that recognizes that the international community has time to deal with
Iran's nuclear ambitions and also that we must address legitimate Iranian security
concerns, taking seriously the idea of a region free of all weapons of mass
destruction.
This larger vision would require the United States to be willing to give up its own
nuclear option, and thus won't be realized overnight.
