Well Saddam probably wouldn't have. Egypt probably would. Syria would bend fairly easily and the house of Saud is reliant on the US anyway. Turkey is trying to get into the EU, that's a wonderful lever. There's a fuckload of political capital there than can be used to squeeze pratically all of these countries. Explain how it's politically impossible.
