Burns: Iran is 'Most Disruptive, Negative Force' in Mideast
Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns is at the Brookings Institution right now discussing Iran. While he said that U.S.-Iranian conflict is "not inevitable, not desirable," Iran is "the most disruptive, negative force in the Middle East."
Al Qaeda, apparently, is yesterday's news.

So dead-on accurate . . . It hurts.
Saudi Arabia is number two . . .
crazyvietnamvet wrote on February 14, 2007 8:02 PM:jimbobuddy...i second that...without a doubt...but I would add Israeli intransigence (to put it mildly) against the Palestinian people as a second chronic source of instability and acrimony.....
PS Not only is the American military occupation of Iraq a great irritant and de-stabilizer but its supply of billions of dollars in armaments to Israel for decades....

Richard L. Adlof wrote on February 17, 2007 2:51 PM:Allow me to make my point . . . USAians are actually wholesale killing folk and actively destorying national assets and infastructure in two regional countries AND threatening the one between the two in the name of inflating oil prices. We have earned the pole position.
Regarding #2: The Chimp in Charge coyly kisses the ruling Saud on is hard-won 2004 man-date. Darth Chainy flies off to Saudi Arabia before the phone hits the cradle whwn he is called to the mat. 6 to 8 of every dead American serviceperson is killed in the part of Iraq supplied and supported by which country (Hint: Rhymes with 'body yo-baby-ah)? Flying high-jackers, Taliban and Wabi support, OPEC oil at three times its normal price, shoulder armed missles.
BTW: Just becuase Those-Folk-Who-Refer-To-Themselves-as-Palastinians' stated purpose and goal of Jewish Genocide and pushing Israel into the sea is going poorly does not mean that lowly underdogs worthy of knee-jerk liberal support.
