Hi Lola,

>Emotions will run high. There will be more support for Islamic groups. Some governments may be toppled,'' the Prince said referring to Pakistan and Indonesia. ''We worry about civil war in Pakistan. The impact will be dramatic.''

Now that is a truly scary thought.
I think the US was doing a very good job in trying to make this a U.S. vs. Terrorist war.
But if these governments topple....it could widen the war dramatically.

I don't think this would be in any ones interest (except may be the extremists)

The end game of this real life chess match is very unpredictable.
If the Pakistani government falls...who comes into power? Will it be another General or some fundamentalist?
If that happens what happens to the nukes?

If Countries like Indonesia have problems will this fight truly take a global dimension?

I was not too scared with the anthrax scare....but now I am truly getting worried.

I hope the situation can be kept under control. Again, I think it is in America's interest to distinguish between the Islamic terrorists and our own loyal Muslims so as to not make this a US vs. Islam thing.
