Iran and Syria Next

[NaCl H2O]

Who would be left to oppose western economic interests in the middle east after Iran and Syria were deposed? Can you imagine a scenario where China and Russa would go along with such a plan? Getting a little parinoid I guess.

China isn't very happy with our actions in central asia right now as it is.

I'm sure they'll say something sooner or later.

China and Russia just love being a counterweight when and where possible to the US

[likwid]

Well the current situation in central asia with both China and Russia having more of a pull to the natural gas and oil reserves there are gonna force us into a situation where we're gonna have to decide whats more important: 'democratizing' the middle east or accepting what they are.

The latter is more likely to have to happen considering a majority of the countries with gas and oil are infact muslim and it'll be necessary to stop making ourselves look totally ignorant to the region.
