#3 I look for Iran and Syria to become chummy. Iran needs Syria should any war start in this area. What is happening in Iraq. Why aren't they fleeing there. Karzai knowing how vulnerable he is could reach out to Iran. I believe Iran would welcome the gesture as would Syria's Assad. Now with Putin in charge I believe this area will be of great interest. The situation provides opportunity.

Lebanon is considerably richer and more peaceful than the Last Ba'ath Paradise. IIRC, Beirut was full of Syrian expat workers even back before the troubles began.
