Hawk, Actually Paul... I have a sense that we're going after Iraq because it will remove one more source of potential support for the eventual regime change to come in Saudi Arabia. Some have noticed that the Saudis have been making "nice-nice" with Saddam since they see him as a potential foil against US agression. This makes sense. Once Iraq falls, Syria will be next and then the Saudis will be completely isolated. At that point they will be forced to repress their Wahabbi zealots or face the potential return of the Hashemites to ruling over the peninsula... How do you see the fall of Syria being so tightly tied to the fall of Iraq? But first we must isolate it from the environment that makes its communicability possible. Nice extension of the metaphor. Isolation is the first defense. You have give me something to ponder. Thank you. Paul
