I don't know if you get the N.Y. Times but in my local paper today Sun-Sentinel.com is an opinion from Wm Safire the noted, famous and conservative columnist. He was a speach writer for Nixon and quite close to him. He offers a Middle East senerio that spell binding.
The article is for sale at the following url (evidently the NYTimes is having a money crunch).
It may be available on the Sun-Sentinel.com tomorrow it appears they wait a day for the release on the internet.
