#1 We gotta watch the commies, or it'll be China all over again.

#2 However many hints there are about unrest, I'd be sure to broadcast a few more. I'd even make up a few and slip them to my favorite pet reporter. Sammy's antennae have to be quivering like jello over all the reports he's getting, and I'd like to help him get rattled a little more.

Assuming I was in charge and had a pet reporter, of course :-)

#3 I hope Bush is going to be watching everybody in sight when Sammy is nothing but a lingering odor.

There are going to be Ba'athists in Syria and Libya, sitting around plotting comebacks and dire revenge. The Shiites are going to find the ayatollahs in Iran, oh, so eager to assist them in establishing Iraq as an "Islamic democracy." The Commies (and the commies) are going to be looking for a chance at five-year planning in lockstep with NKor and Cuba and whatever other socialist powerhouses there are left in the world.

Meanwhile, the Soddies are going to be scrambling to minimize the effects of the departure of the status quo by supporting whatever they can find as the most authoritarian trend, the while pushing the joys of being a wahab. Qaeda and its surrogates are going to be going for the Islamist vote, and there will probably be a bunch of Paleos headed into the rubble to try and raise their own intifada.

That's only a partial list - it doesn't include the Kurds, the Assyrians and Chaldeans, various Bedouins, and the relgious conflicts that are sub-boiling at the moment. It's going to be a very interesting time...
