Gulf War 1991 Redux?
Reader comment on item: MidEast Countries Threatened with Extinction
in response to reader comment: Israel-Palestinians conflict
Submitted by Alex (United States), Aug 7, 2007 at 15:58
Does Dr. Pipes see the Western reaction to an upcoming Iranian attempt to invade Bahrain as analogous to that directed against Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait? Might an American-led coalition drive Iran out of Bahrain and then install tougher measures against Iran's WMD programs through the UN, leaving the Islamic Republic weaker but still in power?

Daniel Pipes replies:
The Iranian threat is potentially analogous. What might follow if Tehran invaded is beyond my powers of prediction.
