In other words, those nations should now have no inhibitions any more in intervening in the war in Iraq? I think that the USA is going to have a slightly more difficult time invading Iran than it has with Iraq. If people in the middle east read this then I think the level of bloodshed, is going to increase dramatically. This also means that those nations have no choice but to start fighting the USA at every opportunity. It also means that apart from Iran, which has already probably started with it's nuclear programme (Spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant being built now), most governments will start to procede with the development of nuclear weapons themselves, a) to be able to counter Israel, which already has them, and, b) to deter the USA from doing the same thing to them as it has in to Iraq.

Even if the USA were to succede in toppling the regimes in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the following governments would not last long, being placed there by the USA, and would only succede if they were to use the same methods that the present governments use to remain in power.
