Interesting analysis. I would tend to agree with you as far as the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan are concerned. Note that I discern between the govenments and the populace, esp. in Egypt and Saudi... Anyway, I hope you are right, but am not so sure about Syria and Iran -- are they doing anything to undercut Hezbollah? Quietly NOT supplying arms, for example? If Hezbollah's (or Hamas') leaders can hole up in Syria or Iran, and if they can still get arms, it's not much of a "smash" in the long run.
Also interesting & sad that these governments would believe what's in the U.S. recovered Zarqawi documents more than the left in the U.S. does...

I know, I know, I should not be surprised....
