On the heels of Condaleeza Rice's important visit to eight Arab countries, something became apparent. It is evident that Arab's want Iraq to succeed. They want assurances that Americans will not leave and allow Iraq to dissolve to the point of anarchy - Hillary Clinton's recently unveiled her plan to slowly withdraw troops notwithstanding.
Ironically, for a country that has been accused of succumbing to the Jewish lobby, America is now seen as a potential protector of Sunni Arabs as Iran continues to forge through with its plans to build nuclear weaponry. As if that wasn't enough, Israeli PM Olmert has gone on record urging the Americans to stop instilling fear regarding Iran.
One question: The United States visited countries like Egypt, Qatar and Kuwait while they continue to indirectly speak to Syrians and Iranians either through intermediaries or on television broadcasts. When will they directly engage Iran and Syria? Two culprits who have done little to help Iraq and seem content to lay the seeds of social and political discord in the country.
