| #7 I wonder when the US goes in to take out the Mullahs, if Iran (and maybe Iraq) will be allowed to fragment into constituent ethnic territories (Persian, Azeri, Kurd, whatnot)? Ethnic map |

| #6 Iran is the target. Has a strong internal insurgency potential. Has had a non-islamic government in the recent past. Has a large middle class. Has a large dissident population. Has a government that is becoming more and more gestapo like. And look what the US has done geopolitically: Iraq to the west: gone. Turkey to the NW: In the US corner now that France has screwed them over. Azerbaijaan: US trainign forces there. Pakistan: US Ally Afghanistan: US Ally and US forces deployed. Kyrgyzia and Uzbekistan: US basing forces there. Not too many friends left in the region for Iran. US forces on every border. Hmm. Something to think about. |

| #5 Information regarding the transfer of the 2nd Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade can be found at: http://kalaniosullivan.com/KunsanAB/8thFW/Howitwasb11e1_b.html#Relocation (Mr. Kalani O'Sullivan, an ex-pat and former USAF maintenace officer who lives in Kunsan, runs this web site. I consider it to be "required reading" by all those seriously interested in the situation in Korea.) |

| #2 ...or Iran. The article mentions that 3,600 are being redeployed, which does not sound significant. (:ess than 10% of total strength in Korea) What is that, about one brigade ? Can some knowledgeable person tell me what the implications of that redeployment are ? |
