To continue with the Ambassador's cinema metaphor, I say we pop some corn, and let the various sides have at each other. Without our soldiers in the crossfire.

The military is trying to accomplish with men what it should have done with bombs. It's too late to blow Fallujah off the map, so let the muzzies do it for us.

No, the Pottery Barn Rule applies here. We have to do our best.

But, that done and honor bright......if Islam did fall into an internecine, incredibly bloody war between the Iranians and the Sunni states, well, we could make sure it was a fair fight.....and that the Pasdaran and Hizbollah died like flies -- like flies! -- as a protracted, detailed, and very bloodily complete revenge, and justice, for their infliction of untold miseries on numerous peoples over the last 25+ years.

And while all that was going on, we could nudge the Saudis every now and then and ask them, in a not-too-unfriendly way, "what price now your pious little secret subsidies to the Salafist haters?" while their M-1 tanks and F-15 squadrons and their Saudi-prince drivers ground themselves up against the Iranians.
