Any thoughts then on what should be done here? If they are all separate issues, should they be considered totally separate, or separately, but within a whole policy?

That's the line of the day, but I just don't buy it. Radical Islamist terrorism, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Iran's quest for nukes, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and politicosocioeconomic staganation in the Arab world are all separate issues. There's less linkage among them than one might think, I believe, and we have less influence than is often argued. The notion that these (countries and issues) are all a bunch of dominoes that were/are about to fall one way or another depending on what we do strikes me as unrealistic. (I know some smart and knowledgeable people who disagree with me on this one, and I can respect their positions, but I'll hold my ground on this one.)
