The real question for us to consider is this. If Hitler were in the same position as George W what would he do? Diplomacy? Mediation? Think about that. If Hitler enjoyed the technological superiority that we have right now, there would be smoke and death everywhere. No questions.

We are holding all the cards and can determine the outcome of the game. The corrupt Saudi fiefdom is crapping itself at this moment, knowing that the world now knows that it pays the families of suicide bombers. This is plain extortion driven by poverty, very sick societies and sicker governance.

I'm sure most Muslims don't think this is okay and the Saudis know if the USA gets control of Iraq the oil price is going to get to US$10 per barrel again. The reduced cash flow to the Saudis will be enough to cause political chaos and maybe collapse. Just think, that country actually has huge debt. Where is the cash from the oil?

The fall of Iraq will cause them to either openly back Arafat and the other terrorists or to shut up and look after the poor in the country and become the peaceful Muslims they proclaim to be. No more trips to Vegas with the hookers!
