Carl, I agree with you about the situation between Israel and the Palenstine. There is no desire for peace. I support the US backing off and letting the two parties work it out. I was speaking about Saudi Arabia as a 'host' of the Al Qaeda. It is one country where establishing economic reform is possible. It looks like the status quo means that the House of Saud will fall eventually to an Islamist movement. So the royal family has some incentive. The Saudi middle class will very quickly give up on the Palestinian cause as they buy their 2.4GHz WiFi enabled computers. I think 'healing the host and boosting the immune system' might be a viable strategy. Otherwise I see the situation become West v.s. Islamists at some point. I remember seeing a Northern Irish film at the Toronto Film festival. It was quite funny. The cast and crew were there and took questions afterwards. Someone asked about the troubles. The film's director answered that the only people who cared anymore were the middle aged men hanging out in pubs all day looking for some excitement. The younger generation had gotten good paying high tech jobs are were just not interested anymore. Paul
