Hey, we get along well with some of those despots! Some of those despots
like the U.S. far better than the majority of their population ever would.
I doubt if we are going to try and liberate them anytime soon though, as
after the WMD fiasco in Iraq, the administration's grand plan for the
Mideast tends to look like "The Boy Who Cried Wolfowitz".
Besides, this sounds like a far more pressing necessity for Israel's
security than that of the U.S.; and I wish them luck in such an endeavor
if they feel up to it.
Speaking of Israel... the funny "New Iraqi Flag" story; this
blue-and-white baby came and went so fast that it would make your head
spin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Iraq
