    Cordesman's analysis that if Assad remains in power, he will be worse of a boogeyman for Israel, is odd.

    There isn't a lot in the historical record to support that, so it makes me wonder if he overstates the influence of that other regional boogeyman, Iran.

    Anyone know Cordesman's position on countering or containing Iran? There may be a link.
