Good points. I was just going to bring up the fact Iran may be the next to come around. Even before Pakistan and if that happens it will be a big stabilizing influence on the whole area. If it does then it may be the best outcome scenario.
I own a busines just outside of Washington D.C. and I have three customers who once lived in Iran and have family there now, They tell me that the current movement in Iran is very very strong and the only reason why the Mullahs havn't been thrown out is because of their fear of Saddam Hussain. They believe that once Saddam is out of the picture, they're free of serious threats. The Mullah's were able to hold off Iraq in the 80's and they watched what happened after we drove Saddam out of Kuwait, (We didn't occupy Kuwait)
Even Ray Charles could see who is the agressor and who is Liberator. I believe once Saddam and his underlings are dismantled, The Iranian people will stand up and take control from the Mullah's. This is when we need to rally the world to support them
