Let’s see, I’d say a very large bureaucracy composed of thugs, thieves and the insane plus all of their out-of-work relatives. And, in order to satisfy everyone concerns, each faction can have their very own secret police force. It’s simply the standard model for the area, so why would it be any different than what those countries already have for themselves? “Bring the Iranians, bring the Syrians, bring the Jordanians, the Saudis, the Egyptians and others.
