Jacob,

There is much that you and I see the same. Until the people of the Middle East have a real hope of an alternative future, very little will change. However, you under estimate the challenge, IMO. You are simplfying Isalm, for example. While large number of Muslim's think as you suggest, a large number do not. It is an article of faith in Wahhabism that the infidel must be defeated. Wahhabism imagines an Islam-only world and anything less is unaccetable. OBL, AQ and most of Saudi Arabia are Wahhabi. We need to deal with what is so about that.

True, there is too much testosterone in the war drums right now. That is too be expected so close to war with the opposition to war so pitched.

Paul
