Whither Iraq?

Andrew Sullivan gets it.


As others have said, it would appear that America and Europe are drifting apart. Can we really (other than Britain) even consider them our allies?


When the time comes, we will go into Iraq, alone, if necessary; we will do what must be done. There will be great loss of life, likely even here in the U.S., as Hussein retaliates; but it must be done. Hussein will attack Israel. Israel, as they have plainly stated, will, must, respond. I believe Soddy Arabia will be our next stop. Iran, I think, will take care of itself. They are already ratcheting up another revolution there, this time against the Mullahs.


I wonder what the Middle East will look like in five years?
