Better example

US-Iran example
I've removed the following example, because it doesn't describe shows of military strength, which is what saber-rattling is about: "A current example is the increasingly-harsh rhetoric traded between the United States and Iran, as pertaining to US-allegations of the state of Iran's nuclear program, its involvement in Iraq, and its militaristic assistance to Hamas. Iran, on the other hand, contends that the US is an occupying force in Iraq that should promptly withdraw, and insists that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and within the legal framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." -kotra (talk) 04:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
