The article takes a look at the United States and their anxiety over the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the armed guardians of Iran's theocracy. Officials in the Bush administration are looking to take action against the group, citing that their support for Hezbollah and insurgents in Iraq is dangerous and that they should be shut down. U. S. officials are quiet on how they will proceed, fearing that reaction by foreign allies. INSET: Protecting the Theocracy.
