He said the U.S. priorities in the Middle East should be

1. putting Middle East peace talks back on track

Iraq is financially assiting the terrorist attacking Israel. Only overthrowing Iraq will cease that assistance.

2. ensuring that Iran continues to move toward reform

With a democratic Afghanistan and Iraq on Iran's boarder combined with President Bush highlighting the Iran's evil government, Iran should continue toward reform. Overthrowing Iraq and replacing it with a true democracy will help push Iran to reform.

3. helping Afghanistan and other central Asian states, patching up relations with Arab states

The best way for this to happen is to stop state-sponsorship of terrorism. We have pushed Afghanistan and Pakistan toward reform. It's time to push Iraq.

4.reopening dialogue with the people of the region.

What the heck does this mean? The United States has always been deeply involved in dialog with the people of the Middle East region. Overthrowing Iraq and replacing it with a democractic government will likely increase dialog even more.

Good answer... these anti-attack-Iraq folks are not thinking strategically.
