"i think their version is more benign than the wasabis."

At the moment it is. I imagine them trying to implement the mission to establish the Global rule by a Caliphate on a more diplomatic format. That is, gradual expansion of influence and support. The way the world is changing, that is not hard to forsee. We are no longer looking at homogeneous countries opposing one another's ideologies. As we have already seen, they would not be opposed to violent confrontation when push comes to shove, even when they are greatly out gunned (which wouldn't be the future scenario).

"If that happened we might have to kill it in its infancy.

That is what we are trying to do now. Leave Iraq and you have authored the unruley adolescent version.

Re: more benign than the wasabis.

However you describe it, no wasabi is benign. Put a bit too much on your sushi and your mouth is on fire. <g>
