It's always interesting to read the "openings" to different threads like this one and see how those openings meet the realities of the present day.

In the opening to this thread it was stated that we needed an "entire sweep of the radical Islamic groups". Five years later it would seem that we have not only NOT swept away the "radical groups" but have created exponentially MORE of those groups.

The opening also suggested that "the West's moving away from their apologists path" would be desirable. Five years later we have seen the result of that sort of strategy in pretty much everything the Bush Administration has done. As a result, we have MORE chaos in the Middle East than we've ever seen.

Seems the entire thread was begun on naive and dumb premises.
