Dear JPR: Iran is certainly one country that qualifies. Its educated and skilled middle class has held the radical fundamentalists in check somewhat. With patience and help, possibly Syria, could also become more moderate ( I am not saying this will be easy) Closer to your home, Pakistan, is an example of what could go wrong if we blindly and indiscriminately lash out at the Taliban. News reports in Today's Wall Street Journal suggest that the leaders of Pakistani Government faces huge domestic unrest in the case of US attacks on Afghanistan in general. They also suggest the Pakistan Army may not defend the government to put down domestic unrest that appears to be defending Islam. And then where does that leave India if Moslem Fundamentalists gain control of Pakistan? No need for me to detail to you how that could play out. I agree with you about about certain states in the Gulf area turning a blind eye--and of course I will agree that Iraq, or at least its government is a special case. Nevertheless, I still maintain we must proceed cautiously and with reason here--lest any short term military/police actions alienate people of an entire Faith toward anything Western. Bill
