It is normal that Syria will analise the lebanese war to discover israel's weaknesses and strenght, especially as this information would be valuable for the strategies to be used if a syrian-israeli war occurs. Iran are doing exactly the same things, examining the strenghts and weaknesses of America's troops in Irak and Afghanistan, which is invaluable given the large risk of a confrontation. Iran holds the upper hand in this, as the US won't know what to expect since Iran's last war was decades ago, and iran's military has completely changed since that time. This does not mean Iran triggered both wars on Irak and Afghanistan to hold test, although it gives them the opportunity to use these wars to their advantage. Hezballah are probably doing exactly the same things in analysing these wars secretely in the backround.
Any half decent military strategist of any country would take these necessary steps and prepare defence strategies to try and take advantage of these weaknesses. This does not always mean that a war is imminent, but many wars can happen by surprise and it is the responsability of any state who cares for it's people to analise those situations.
If our strategists didn't know more about restaurants in downtown than what they are supposed to know they would be doing exactly the same things.
