because the U.S. could be getting into a trap, they can't get out of. I think people are very gullible to dismiss what the other side is planning. I do not trust any of them because they want to see the U.S. fail. Everybody is focusing on one Arab leader, but it is more than one leader within the Hemisphere want to see the U.S. bought down to size because of what they perceive to be the arrogance in Washington. I donot trust Russia,China or Pakistan. Considering front runner for Pakistan's next leader wants to break ties with the United States. People are taking the Iranians lightly too, but I think they are plotting. If the Iranian Government was so isolated, where did they get the influence to call at least 40 countries in a private meeting to Tehran to discuss the issue? What I found the significance in was the exclusion of some countries in the region but Pakistan was included. They excluded certain countries like India and Turkey, and certain countries supporting the opposition. Iran supreme leader also issued a threat to Jordan's leader if he intefered. You see no reports of that in the Western media. And there was no reports of jordan expelling an Israeli ambassador after Iran's ultimatin to them. I think they are caught twixt and between of angering both sides.
