Iran could turn it into a civil war overnight, the US is lucky they have thus far tried to restrain the Shiite population from really responding. Of course it still may happen without them, but certainly if Iran exercised their control they could turn it into a huge clusterfuck of a nation. Not pushing for a cease fire in the Israeli-Hezbollah war could start to tip things over the edge very soon. In my opinion, King Abdullah of Jordan was very right when he said these such wars were in actuality weakining moderate Arab leaders in the region and strengthening those same radicals they are aimed at destroying. Some would ask what we can do than, in reality I think all we can do is support those moderate leaders to solve the problems in the region economically and socially and lead thae way and force a solution on Israel that solves that issue once and for all.
