>>The strikes, if they come, will be at a great distance -- in the U.S. or Europe or India or South-east Asia or elsewhere in the Middle East; desperate and essentially hopeless attempts to distract from the main show; to get the world to say, "You see, Mr. Bush, Iraq is not the problem!"<< Wonder if this was written before the latest bin Laden tape surfaced. If so, very prescient. Much as I admire David Warren, this prediction did not require genius, it's part of the standard Islamist MO. The ideal of Arab unity and Arabs protecting each other from infidel attack is a powerful idea in the Arab world; it would be strange if AQ didn't "push that button" in its statements, or if AQ and Saddam didn't move into de facto alliance under the threat of a US attack.
