mecca and medina?
Two cruise missiles with the appropriate war heads will flatten them both forever. I read in the newspaper today that dubya has legal carte blanche that is still in effect from 1991 to blow up whatever he wants to in the middle east. Whats the hold up?

That is why I think a move by Jordan to take Mecca, if things get into a state of "flux" in SA, makes sense.
