MC, the USA has not stabilized and is not stabilizing the region. Iraq was stable. Saddam had it trussed up like a turkey like Tito had Yugoslavia peaceable and pleasant. Afghanistan was stable too before the invasion. Nasty, vicious, repressive and fighting with the Northern Alliance and the evil General Dostum who is remarkably like Saddam Hussein. But stable more or less. It is absurd to support Dostum but depose Hussein. Dostum has done a lot worse than Saddam, who was hung and killed for a relatively trivial offence [far less criminal than William Calley's effort at My Lai]. Pakistan was more stable during the Bhutto era than since the Tora Bora dramas. Which is not to say that King George II was particularly wrong to attack them, but let's not pretend they were stabilizing incursions. The invasions were just part of the dog eat dog and the devil take the hindmost processes of the region. Meanwhile, Iran threatens to go nuclear and kill Jews en masse; their fissionable material being for peaceable power generation processes, so they say, while they sell the far cheaper methane via a hugely expensive pipeline to India, through Pakistan which is unlikely to let the gas flow freely. There doesn't seem to have been much stabilization. China has 1.3 billion people and 30 million young males with time on their hands. There is zero likelihood that TJ will have a forced conversion to Islam. The USA on the other hand is religious, superstitious, with many already converting voluntarily to Islam. Heck, they just elected "Hussein Obama" which rhymes closely with "Hussein Osama" - they rhyme for a reason. Europe is already in thrall to Islamic Jihad which increasingly is calling the shots there [though they mostly use bombs instead of shots at present]. Mqurice
