Brake Lights on Iran -Michael Gerson
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and special envoy George Mitchell have returned from trips to the Middle East sobered by the intensity of Arab fears of Iranian intentions.
[H]igh-profile outreach to Iran would probably be taken by Arab leaders as American betrayal. They would assume that America is cutting a secret deal with Iran - and would be led to cut such deals of their own.

Doable if they back us in sanctions and other MidEast initiatives. Unlikely, if they choose to go against us at every turn except for Iran.
Good point...it's a big unknown, how far the anti-Iran coalition will go...should be interesting to watch. So far Arab states all but backed Israel's Gaza War. Who would have thunk it?!
