US did not betray Anti-Regime Iraqis like Ahmed Challabi. What did US get? The greatest mess. Now where do those Anti-Regime Iraqis live? in US and the West, of course.
Anti-Regime Iranians? Probably another Ahmed Challabi style group, who will never go back to Iran; rather, they will live in the West -- nice Villas in Switzerland.
If US wants to invade Iran, it should do so for its reasons and it should not worry about betraying anti-regime iranians, because they will betray US at the first opportunity (just like Ant-Regime Iraqis).
