I consider myself a moderate, but I'll take shot at your questions, Jim

1. Hegemony seems a strong word.. but an unchallenged Iran could easily grow to be one of the 2 or 3 most powerful arab states (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Syria being the current)

2. I doubt they would make such an acknowledgement publicly as it would only contribute to such power.. but I am sure they would see it.

3. yes (do you really believe they don't?)

4. what politician doesn't care about shifting balances of power?

5. can't say what public statements they might make, but the poorly handled Iraq war definitely helped Iran.

6. No. It would have been better to embrace the role Iran offered after 9/11 when they helped us attack Al Queda in afghanistan (supply lines and use of air space)
