hello michael, "Hussein is a Sunni somewhere along the lines..." interesting point. we haven't heard much from hussein, lately, have we? i'm sure he's been going to church regularly these days. all the usual dckheads in the region seem to be keeping a low profile, but that can't last. "...a Taleban / bin Laden overthrowing of Hussein might be a big prize for them..."* i'd suspect iran would favor that scenario, but, i don't think the taliban have the horses to take on iraq. they're too busy trying to recruit free agents from the northern alliance, who say they've already got them bought and paid for. "...Iraq is the most unstable state of all in the region..." you're absolutely right that whatever happens, iraqs' nukes and bugs weapons infrastructure needs to be turned into glass. i'm also watching egypt and pakistan as key trouble spots when the taliban are defeated. it's clear there's pressure to wrap it up before winter. here's a story on egypt's troubles. (if this is old news and i'm wasting your time, i apologise.) nytimes.com interview w/close aide of 'the blind sheik'. very plain, no spin. stunning. pbs.org regards, larry
