"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.

Don't doubt the reasons for Iraq are to cause chaos and "confusion".
There are also number of folks within the US government who clearly have this objective in mind - and definately are not just thinking about the welfare of the US.
Any nation/continent who regard themselves as the top dog in the eating chain will always fear another encroaching and use all any any methods to kill the opponent off. This ranges from actual "wars", the creation of external "threats" where folks think they need protection, to just basic propaganda.
Only my
worth, but suspect time will tell that the US has just been used to do the dirty work and get totally screwed in many ways in the process - but that does not matter in the overall picture envisaged by some.
