Interesting read. He seems to think the war will broaden to include Iran and Syria if we install a Military leader to run the country after the war.[/url]

Syria is far too smart to try anything, as is Iran. In Iran a coup might change that, in Syria it wont.

Well hasnt Iran has already sent a proxy force into Northern Iraq? Because they want to have some sort of presence when Hussein's regime falls and the new government is set up.

Just going to complicate things.

Iran wants as much Iraqy land as they can grap while the US is breacking Saddam's Army and thusly is discrated

While it might complicate things it WILL Draw some Republic Guard Units Eastward as Saddam knows the whole Human shield thing does not work aginst Iran...
