That seems to be one of the points made in the Galbraith book,
The End of Iraq.  Maybe I'm giving some of these guys too much credit, but I'm starting to believe this was all planned out in a slipshod sort of way.  Take out the lesser nations first, then go for those really behind everything -- Syria and Iran.

I have another theory...

America and Brittian that should have set an example to the rest of the world, had decided to invade Iraq without the United Nations' approval and they basically got away with it.

What was the end result...

Countries like Iran, North Korea etc. feels they no longer need to obey the general ruling of "anybody" out there and no have gotten quite "abfront" in their relationship to the rest of the world.
