	Olympus FluoView Resource Center: Confocal Gallery - Buttercup Stem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A species known as the turban or Persian buttercup is especially valued for the variety of hues its flowers may display and is the type most commonly employed by florists.
		Buttercups comprise the genus Ranunculus, which is the Latin term for “little frog.” The genus name is indicative of the preference of buttercups for damp, marshy areas, which are also commonly the haunts of frogs.
		The leaves of the buttercup are deeply cut and are said to resemble crow’s feet, resulting in an alternative name for the plant, which is predominantly called crowfoot in some locales.

		The best-case scenario for Iran is that the U.S. military is forced to withdraw from Iraq, leaving Iran with a dominant sphere of influence over a Shi'a-dominated Iraq or a breakaway Shi'a mini-state in the south, and that Iran is able to achieve nuclear weapons capability.
		Were this outcome to occur, Iran would be the dominant power in the Persian Gulf, displacing the United States.
		When the positives and negatives of Iran's strategic situation are weighed, it becomes clear that the complex balance of opportunities and threats provides the opportunity for Iran to try to expand its regional power at considerable risk.
