If Ledeen truly believes that we are not doing things throughout the region, I've lost all respect for him. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and a Military invasion of Syria and Iran is not the answer. We won the cold war without launching a single missile or moved a Tank across any Soviet Block nations border. When the suffering masses in these Mullah controlled nations see and hear what's spreading in Iraq, the pressure builds, and much like what happened in Poland, a Blue Collar worker on a loading dock stands up and says, "Enough of this BS"
The Iranians and the Syrians need not to fear our Tanks, Cruise Missiles and our magnificent Warriors, those Tyrants need to worry about their own people.
Nobody wakes up in the morning and looks forward to another day of bondage. On the other hand, When we succeed in Iraq, hope will become one with the desert winds and those winds will bring major change throughout the Middle East, just like it did Eastern Europe
