The United States is now trapped between the poles of its own rhetoric and the backwash of its policies in the Middle East. The US State Department has identified Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Cuba and North Korea as the seven `state sponsors of international terrorism', but it is not about to start attacking the Arab states on this list. There was talk of including Iraq in the early stages of Operation Infinite Justice (now Enduring Freedom) but this was deflected, apparently by Colin Powell. This does not mean the United States will not attack Iraq again sooner or later, but for the moment it cannot afford to antagonise the Arab world.
