#2 Everyone in the region is secretly rooting for the US to take the MM's down and out before they have a deliverable nuke. Iran with the bomb is obviously unacceptably dangerous to anyone with a brain, but just imagine how much more insufferable the MM's would be -- especially to the Sunnis of the region, lol!

If the Israelis, for whatever confluence of reasons, took the lead and did the deed - just imagine the ramifications... Oh, the irony! The chagrin among the Sunnis would be astounding, lol, though it wouldn't stop them from condemning Israel, of course. They are Arabs, after all, lol!

This is one of those fascinating "convergence of interest" thingys that history sometimes serves up. I recommend a nice cilantro mint chutney on the side.

#3 There goes the neighborhood. Just when Saddam is taken down as the bully, up pops the nutty moolahs.

And, least we forget, Kawait is our biggest ally there.

#4 Cap't A:
Remember that the reason the US gave support to Sodamn Insane for a while was that Baathist Iraq was SANEST regional counterbalance to the Mad Mullahs of Iran. I suspect there is similar reasoning for not bringing the hammer down on Assad right now, and for trying to incorporate the Sunnis into the Iraq government (and keeping the Shia from taking wholesale revenge.)
