[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 1932202, member: 24459"] I am amazed how easily we forget one of the reasons the first reasons we didnt remove Saddam in the first Gulf war. Colin Powell said it would create a power vaccum in the middle east. He was correct. Removing Saddam allowed Iran and Syria to become stronger and more influential. In just a few years the "power vaccum" resulted in the Arab Spring. If and when Syria falls and if and when Iran falls, im thinking Turkey(a Nato Ally) and Saudi Arabia(U.S. Ally) will attempt to fill the "power vaccum". As long as Israel remains on friendly terms with Turkey and Saudi Arabia, she should be "ok". This scenario should be beneficial to the west, but might increase tensions and relationships with China and Russia. **these are just my thoughts and speculations** [/QUOTE]
