If we move against Iran, the entire area will unite against us. Then, when they get rid of us, (and they will) they will turn on each other until the strongest one gets the biggest piece of the pie.
It would be a comfort to pretend that we would never attack Iran, but there is that attitude in Washington that since we are the biggest and best, we deserve to win. And as long as some believe that piece of drivel, there is real danger.
What Arab countries will unite against America, if Iran is attacked by a group of countries?
France will talk diplomacy. And if there is a confrontation, while France might join a fight, it will not start a fight or be the first to attack.
France has not had a good strong army since Napoleon and even then....
As for which Arab and/or Middle East countries will join a fight, I'd reckon if we make this an all out attack, it will be viewed as a potential blood bath, and all the nations will form an alliance to protect their land, resources and ideology.

This is not good reporting, but an editorial piece that makes assertions, and does not answer any real questions.
The Middle East will unite against the US if pushed just like two brothers against a common enemy.
Make no mistake, Captain, brothers in Islam, will unite against the West not fight with the West.
Please understand, I never called myself a captain. Please do not call me captain. I was a proud, lance corporal (E3) in the Marines.CAPMARINE stands for Combined Action Program (CAP) Marine.
The Combined Action Program (CAP) is the unit I served in Vietnam. You can read about the unit in a LIFE Magazine article at: LIFE*Cover
Back to the topic of this thread and your comment. Arabs do not trust Persians. Arabs see the truth, just like I mentioned. Syria is Arab but their bother and sister Arabs, see through their betrayal.
You will see Arab nations supporting the cleaning out of both Iran and Syria.

Here's the link to the article that you deleted. Please offer your comments about this article. Bolton has some great knowledge about Iran, since he had access to information that most Americans will never have. //www.city-data.com/forum/polit...mon-sense.html
I think the former Ambassador is a war-mongerer. The Iranian's are only beginning to explore nuclear power; they don't have it. It is premature to think about any strike, and the fact that this article appears in Jerusalem and not in the US, makes me believe he is pandering to the Israeli hawks.

Where do you get your information from... IRAN?
In spite of all the information you have from important sources, the action will take place when they decide. There was a recent practice run against Syria. Iran's time is soon.
