An Israeli Strike: What's in it For Us?.................from Dan Friedman

From Daniel Goldman (a.k.a. Spengler) in the Asia Times:

Absent an Israeli strike, America faces:

 A nuclear-armed Iran;

 Iraq's continued drift towards alliance with Iran;

 An overtly hostile regime in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood government will lean on jihadist elements to divert attention from the country's economic collapse;

 An Egyptian war with Libya for oil and with Sudan for water;

 A radical Sunni regime controlling most of Syria, facing off an Iran-allied Alawistan ensconced in the coastal mountains;

 A de facto or de jure Muslim Brotherhood takeover of the Kingdom of Jordan;

 A campaign of subversion against the Saudi monarchy by Iran through Shi'ites in Eastern Province and by the Muslim Brotherhood internally;

 A weakened and perhaps imploding Turkey struggling with its Kurdish population and the emergence of Syrian Kurds as a wild card;

 A Taliban-dominated Afghanistan; and

 Radicalized Islamic regimes in Libya and Tunisia.
