I forgot to say two more thing...the first is that although there exists a very small faction whose true goal is what you'd call Islamist-imperialism, by and large it is local oppression and corruption, and lack of fair play by the West (perceived or otherwise) that pushes Muslims to flunk to their ranks. Remove the root causes and you remove the threat.

Secondly, in years to come you will see a greater and greater divide between US and Europe. As EU is better established and as Soviet Union becomes a forgotten threat, competition for the Middle East and other strategic resources will force the State Department to call Europe the greatest threat to the world stability in some decade in the future. That is unless we can make the "Islamic-Imperialists" take the place of former Soviet Union so as to maintain the balance of power.

just a thought,
Sun (I think I will start a Tom Clancy kinda book) Tzu
