The most interesting thoughts I've read this week on our problem of problems, conveyed to me by an old Middle East hand:
"If the U.S. and Iran came to blows as a result of Hezbollah's war, where would the sympathies of the Iraqi people lie? The Iraqi government? The Iraqi army? Is it possible that the Shiite-dominated Iraqi army would turn its guns against us? Could this be what Iran is trying to provoke?"
