4. As for Britain threatening us over the IRA: (i) see my point immediately above; and (ii) the threat really should be credible before it becomes worrisome.

Regarding #3, I gotta say that one of the main purposes of my post was to point out that Dubai should be taking recent Russian announcements as a fairly explicit threat by the (eta: Russians, did I say Soviets?). And, personally, I think the U.S. should (in addition to backing off the Russians on Chechnya as a general matter) let Dubai know that Russia's statements are consistent with the Bush doctrine.
