Que, Excellent article, outlining the problem for the Islamic world, if a little short on solutions. It actually reminds me of the socio-political quagmire the African states find themselves in. No solution in sight. The difference is Africa matters about zero zlotys to the world's commerce and security (a point which was proven when the Hutus slaughtered the Tutsis, or was it the other way around? Or was it the Hutsis versus the Tutus? Half a million or so, hacked to death with machetes, either way). If we get to Big Bull's post hydrocarbon man, expect the nations in the sand to maintain the importance of, say, Malawi. If we can get past the anthrax scare, that is. Kb

re: <<Jamia'at Ulema-e-Islam is one of the most extreme Islamic movements in Pakistan, and its leader — a ferocious old man with a white beard — is currently summoning the faithful onto the streets to overthrow the government of President Musharraf and launch a holy war. But two of his sons are studying in the United States. He says that they will be better able to understand their enemy. >> How the hell can the government let a terrorist's sons go to school in the U.S.!??!! Educational visas appear to be a big problem that should be addressed fast.
