Ironic too, considering the way we have been sold Iraq as an exercise in democratisation, not only that Israel is contemplating this move, but that the non-democratic and very unpopular regimes in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, our only other allies in the region, would likely have been overthrown years ago without US support.
