On NRO, Jed Babbin writes, in Only Half Done, "Iraq is the stage upon which the future of the Middle East is being fought out." Excerpt:
None of the despotisms that are among Iraq's neighbors — Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Syria — can continue if freedom blossoms in Iraq. So those governments are actively involved in funding, supplying, and reinforcing the terrorists and remnants of Saddam's regime fighting us in Iraq. Iraq cannot be free, and its people finally liberated, unless and until we end the interference of those governments.
It's well worth reading.
