@fismail07 becuse those arabs are arabs or like americans call them eyrabs... They dont live in the past 40 years, they in in the past 100 years... They will allways be after. And when it comes to israel and Iran, they both are equally dangerous for the ME IF they whant it...

As to Iran & Iraq, I'm reminded of Kissinger's famous bon mot during their way: "it's too bad they can't both lose."

i am pessimistic about all this. i think time is on the side of Iran because the Arab M.E just is unable to realize the mortal danger Iran posses to it...arabs are still living in the past 40 years, and are focused on the so-called Israeli danger, not realizing that the whole scene has shifted, and the danger is now coming from Iran. Israel has setteld in-to the M.E scene and posses no danger to anyone, it just wants to be left in peace, but Iran will not allow that to happen.
