Maybe the US should consider - if the guy with the most political influence in the region, and the guy with the strongest military in the region, both of whom seized and maintained power through openly sucking up to Uncle Sam, are both keeping mum because they're afraid of what shit will explode if they publicly support the US on this... What can we expect if we actually go through with it? What can those nations we go in with expect?
