Anti- American demonstrations have occurred in six Arab states, but Egypt, Syria and Morocco have sent troops to help the U.S. and its European allies confront Saddam. Optimistic analysts expect that, at least if war comes as a result of a clear Iraqi provocation and the U.S. wins quickly, the Arab world will go with the winner and see Saddam Hussein as a blusterer who sacrificed huge amounts of treasure...
