Re: The next war in the Persian Gulf
Actually, post cold war, the "neo-cons" (let's cal them that for convenience) made a list of countries that had to be changed/altered/bombed. http://www.aei.org/ - Was the leader of this pack and this list came (surprisingly, a little before 9/11 in GWB presidency, 1st term). Post 9-11, th...
