Over the next two decades, every Arab government that is [View All]

propped up by the United States will be swept aside.The Saudi Monarchy is on its last legs;Egypt's dictator Mubarak will be gone;other Arab countries from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon will be dominated by Islamic extremists.Pakistan and Iran will also be ruled by Islamic fundamentalists.In these countries anyone who supports America will either be assassinated or
replaced.

All of these consequences flow directly from the foolish war on Iraq
under false pretexts.The children at Abu Ghraib who were forced to witness the rape of their mothers and fathers are the future enemies that Bush's idiocy has created.

I would like to know if I am being too pessimistic.Please give me reasons to hope I am wrong.From a historical perspective, I believe our goose has been cooked in the Middle East.The cost in terms of security, economic relations and of course, oil prices and availability are going to be incalculable.
