Thanks for all the information Lorne. I'll agree that the madrasses are a problem. But look where the problem really is. It's in Saudi Arabia. In Pakistan. Afghanistan...and now in Asia too. But never were these madrasses a problem in Iraq.

Which country do we attack? Iraq. Which countries are our allies? Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Go figure.

Now the madrasses prey on the poorest of people. They can either have the madrass and what they are offering or...nothing.

Ok then...the answer is easy. First answer is to pressure these countries to stop teaching hate. They want to do that themselves...but make it easier for them to get it done. The best way to do that is to help them establish legitimate public schools...and alternative to the Madrasses...make the alternative better than the madrasses. It wouldn't take that much money or effort to undermine the effort by UBL and other radicals to teach hate.

Offer an alternative...fund it fully. In a matter of a few years the madrasses would be out of business. You might have to offer more than UBL offers...but it would be worth it. Far cheaper than fighting wars.

Most of the arabs that I know are from Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Kuwait and some from Saudi Arabia too. But all of them are very decent folks. The madrasses have not had much effect in these countries...except for Saudi Arabia. I don't think that the Madrasses are in Syria in any big way. all of these countries, except Saudi Arabia have excellent schools and universities. They have the technical staff to run their oil fields and other affairs. So were going to attack first Iraq...then Syria...then Iran...but the problem lies in Saudi Arabia and in Pakistan...where we won't be going anytime soon.

Explain that one...
