<<<What I wonder is whether you've bother to take into account the price we'll pay years from now if we don't take such a stance right now and attempt to provide the people of the middle east a viable alternative to the hatred eminating from these extremist Islamic clerics. >>>

The price we will pay will include $5/gal gasoline if Iraqi oil falls into the wrong hands. Which will also increase the surcharge on air travel and the price of manufactured goods.
Anything made of plastic, like packaging and fiberglas boats. Astroturf. Electric power. Autos. Anything requiring heat to form. Air conditioning

Those price increases are in the works, a failure in Iraq will bring them on much sooner - we are buying time to find alternate energy sources and efficiency. To avoid an economic disaster and out-of-the-world prices for transportation, cars, vacations, housing.

And the Muslims will be dancing in the streets.
