Addi, I sense your real issue is with the numbers. I.e., were there only a few dozen, I sense you wouldn't feel so strongly about this. You reference the suicide bomber program - how many of the billion or so that consider themselves Muslim to some extent do you consider an actual threat? Do you not believe a continuing military victories will have an effect on the recruiting of suicide bombers? My assumption, fwiw, regardless of these interpretations of the Koran, like the Taliban troops that change sides to the Northern Alliance when convenient, these recruiting schools will find it difficult to persist when their funds are cut off and popularity wanes. After all, we have the capacity for practically unlimited military action in all parts of the world in a coalition of similarly-threatened nations. In fact, that's what those favoring this form of Geopolitical Nintendo are rooting for. So what are you worried about?
