Middle East Security

You may be wondering what the Israelis think about our fool's folly in Iraq. Here's a couple of choice quotes from Yuval Diskin, the head of Shin Bet, Israel's domestic security forces. From the BBC:

Yuval Diskin said a strong dictatorship would be preferable to the present "chaos" in Iraq, in a speech to teenage Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

and

"When you dismantle a system in which there is a despot who controls his people by force, you have chaos," he said.

"I'm not sure we won't miss Saddam."

I( guess the world is only a safer place without Saddam for those who never had to deal with him in the first place.
