Israeli Security Agencies Regret US Iraq Invasion

Head of domestic security in Israel is beginning to think twice about his countries support of the US policy in the middle East. This complements statements made late last year that the Israelis did NOT want the US messing with the Syrian Gov't, for fear of the return of the Muslim Brotherhood. From the article:
The head of Israel's domestic security agency, Shin Bet, has said his country may come to regret the overthrow of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
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.
...
When asked about the growing destabilisation of Iraq, Mr Diskin said Israel might come to rue its decision to support the US-led invasion in 2003.

"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."

Our foreign policy is pathetic, and the Dems should start thinking up some alternatives.
