Scumbria, WWIII will be a Islamic war. The moderate Islam followers versus the Islamic fundamentalists. That is what we see happening in Iran which was one of the first nations caught by surprise by the Islamic fundamentalists. That is setting the tide now. I think the West should sit tight. It will happen. The next is Saudi Arabia/Egypt and the Islamic fundamentalist as represented by Arafat and the PLO. Saudi Arabia has realized that their Muslim rhetoric has produced one of their own citizen, Osama Bin Laden who has now turned the gun on Saudi monarchy. Another important thing we should keep in mind is the much talked about/debate about profiling in the US. The US talks about all these Civil Liberties and while it is very good to do that, there needs to be a recognition that in times of when there exists a threat, some of those liberties need to be sacrificed. Instead of the Americans enjoying it, the terrorists will be taking advantage of it. So we need to figure out and all agree if profiling (temporary) to combat terrorism is good or not.
