I mention them (India, Pakistan and Israel) because they are close by and capable of defending themselves. I'm wondering where people think Saddam is going to "expand" to? He is not a credible threat to anyone other than the disputed Kurdish territories or weaker dictatorial monarchies, which aren't going to be fundamentally better or worse off with or without him. Saddam has been painted as something his is not - a new Hitler bent on world domination. Iran sure as heck doesn't love his butt and I don't think the Saudis do. So where is he going to threaten? That leaves Turkey, Syria and Jordan - they're not going to welcome him. You can be sure that Israel has a seconds-to-launch, minutes-to-touchdown H-bomb targeted at Bagdad.
