Robert, I fully expect this conflict to go nuclear; particularly if Israel is rained upon with chemical warheads from Iraq and Iran. Besides, Israel already took out Iraq's nuclear program in 1980,. if they didnt, the US would have had a different outcome in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. This coming nuclear conflict is inevitable; similar to leaving a loaded weapon in a kindergarten classroom.The Arabs dont care how many of their people die as they have too many to feed and they cant control them, so they send them on suicide missions, etc. Saddam Hussein is old and he is more concerned with is legacy than his life, or the lives of his people. If he can go down in history as bombing Jerusalem and killing hundreds of thousands of jews, he'll do it. Iran is led by radicals and the US has a score to settle there., Osama' and company are insane from the high grade heroin and hashish they consume all day. This is a recipe for death, and we peace and freedom loving peoples are forced to fight it or die. They again awke the sleeping giant; this time however, they struck NYC and DC; big mistake. I believe that the US has been chomping at the bit to take back Iran. Foolisly, Iran has called our bluff.

Robert - the Arabs are not crazy they are consciously evil. They are on the binge to rebuild their dream of the big Caliphate - from sea to sea and by that to extort the rest of the world. They have done it for centuries in the past and they want to get in this position now. That is why OBL had and still has so much support in the Arab world and there is so much venom spread against the West US and Israel in their press. If you remember the reason for discovering the Americas was that Europe got sick and tired from the extortion of the Arabs for gods coming from China and the Far East - (that is how the Silk Road was born, at the time fully controlled by Arabs) For hundred of years Arabs lived on the expense of Europe if by conquering Eastern Europe or charging hefty "protection fees". Arabs reintroduced and engaged in slave trade from Africa and Eastern Europe at a time that slavery was long forgotten. They also instituted the organized slavery of prostitution to serve their middle to upper class by enslaving young woman from all over the world which were plainly taken by force from their homes. This practice was abolished only 50 to 75 years ago. (Romanian history is full of those horror stories including slavery of Christian children brainwashed, tortured and turned into fierce fighter) The Arabs see Israel and now the US as the impediment of fulfillment of their Caliphate dream. There are few Arabs that have adopted modern values (and recognized the State of Israel) but unfortunate they are not the leading and powerful in the Arab world.
