A United Arab States coming soon?

Seems to me that leaving Iraq in civil war would open the door for Iran & other countries to offer to "solve all the problems" in the middle east, by becoming a unified nation.

I remember a guy i worked with from over there....back when i was a young teenager, his exact words were...

"The middle east divided is weak, but if we were to ever unite, we would be our own super power"

Yea it creeped me out too...& this was way pre 9/11 lol

And its got me thinking lately....as things get worse in the middle east, people will be looking for solutions. And a politically/relegiously strong nation like Iran might very well have what it takes to envision such a united continent.

Perhaps thats why we're in Iraq....not just the oil. But trying to continue the chaos, so that there is no possibility of unity.
