You would never know it from reading the US press, but the overwhelming majority of arabs support Iraq in its confrontation with the US. It is only the kings and monarchs -- who could not survive without Washington's support -- who back the US. What has this to do with OS? Simple! The odds of a massive regional upheaval are growing every day.
