*You can't stop al Qaeda unless you manage to establish some kind of draconian world government. For the next decades terror will be part of our life.* Jochen, I thought I had acknowledged the possibility of the 5% solution and worse quite awhile back? It's definitely on the table as far as I can tell. I can't see any possibility of things getting so bad that we would nuke anyone. But if I were taking your position, I would certainly pray that the US doesn't run out of willing troops and smart weapons. If that were to happen, it would not take long to arrive at B-52s and carpet bombing to take their place. As to your conclusion above, I suspect something will just have to change. Because I am certain that neither of us will live to see the US participating in a world government any more draconian than the UN. And I am not going to accept living in terror for decades because of religious beliefs I do not hold or share. But keep working at it. I suspect that those 5% solutions don't take much time to get rolling these days. ...The news this morning may already signal a beginning. ...Or did it begin with the invasion of Iraq? We shall see. 0\|0
