#6  Yeah, but those guys seem to divided loyalties. When it would cause their clan more trouble than the mullahs are worth. They only work from one paycheck to the next.

#5  Shouldn't take them too lightly. Their conventional arms may be shoddy, but they have reasonable access to soft targets and they've got a bunch of ready-made useful idiots in the Shi'ite south of Iraq.

#3  It makes me laugh cynically whenever I hear someone proclaim that we should not whup some tyranny because it might be overthrown by a bunch of whiny college undergraduates in a revolution.

They can never imagine that the reason they are tyrannies in the first place is precisely because they have eliminated any serious competition and that even they know that the whiny undergraduates couldn't find their collective butts with a road map and a flashlight.
