The notion that the US,
which has shown no interest in the Muslims of the middle east, can now "transform" the Empire of Islam into it's own image is simply NUTS.
Anything with the "taint" of American approval will be rejected by Muslims without further discussion. Hence, the "new government" in Iraq will never gain credibility as long as it is "backed" by Dubya and the "Zionist" Neocons.
AMAZINGLY, THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST COULD BE WORSE THAN VIETNAM....
THE VIETNAM WAR WAS FAIRLY WELL CONTAINED AND DID NOT INVOLVE OIL....AND OCCURRED IN A GEOPOLITICAL BACK WATER. Only the false "domino theory" made Vietnam "significant." Not so in Iraq!
The longer Dubya and the Neocons stay in Iraq....the more unstable the entire region will become. Ultimately, Dubya and the Neocons could be the worst thing to ever happen to Israel.
Next to Sharon and the Lukud that is!
