>>"...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.<<

I think Iran would rather jump in bed with the US than see OBL / Taleban take over Iraq. Iran has been moderating over the years and the Taleban would surely like to see this trend reversed.

What I think the entire region needs is good old fashioned capitalism and democracy for the people. Once everyone learns they can have DVD's, cell phones, ice cream in summer, PC's and the Internet surely they will all live in harmony.

Somewhat tounge in cheek.
