I've Beeb Thinking:

Iran and Syria form the most powerful nexus in the Middle East right now.
And Iran and Syria are becoming cozy, very cozy.

Iran's Foreign Minister was just in Syria for meetings.
That has many leaders, policy makers and advisers deeply concerned.
They are concerned about the power that will emerge from the continued diplomatic and economic sharing that will result from this friendship.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and most of the small Gulf States know that an Iran/Syria alliance means a move to the extreme.
It means a new tone will be set in the Middle East.
It also means a nose dive for US policy.

US policy in the region is predicated on the actions of Saudi Arabia and Egypt and Jordan.
Until now, those countries have set the tone and squashed Islamic radicalism through official military and judicial means or through financial means.
Now the extremists, Hezbollah and Hamas, will be sponsored by Iran and Syria.

This is not good news - not for the Middle East and not for the Untied States
