would we have done anything different if a similar conflict was on our borders ? Heck, we've done it even when it was half a world away.... Kumar, at first glance, your logic would seem sound. But I don't think we'd support just any old government on our borders. We've certainly never had much control over events in Mexico, but we've managed to, in my opinion, ensure that they have maintained some resemblance to democratic institutions (despite the domination of the PRI over the decades). On the other hand, it would be hard to justify Hitler or Stalin's attempts to destabilize neighboring countries and turn them into totalitarian copies of themselves, or to keep them in violent turmoil in order to forestall future threats. If anything, such activities on the part of Iran's government almost guarantee that MOST Iraqis will remain hostile to it. You can't play both sides for long before everyone recognizes you're being "two faced". Hawk
