q--Wish I didn't agree with you, but I do....I've felt for some time, after the shock of 9-11, that the islamofascists don't care about our response. They seem to be singlemindedly going about their goal, no matter what they think we might do. Sending suicide bombers in to civilian areas is an example.

No one has ever really explained what happened to Saddams WMD...so where did they go? Whose hands are they in? All the suitcase nukes from the Soviet Union aren't accounted for, as far as I can determine. Whose hands are those things in? Do we have every lab in the world that is capable of manufacturing bio weapons or chemical weapons under surveillance? ETC.

Perhaps I am too pessimistic. But I suspect once the islamofascists get desperate they will launch attacks without a concern about our response.

.>>>I think there will be massive blood shed on a scale greater than WWII before the Islamofascist threat is terminal. The momentum and foundation behind this ideology is strong and can only be derailed with massive punishment across the Arab and Iranian nations.>>>

It is up to the leaders to make the decision. And they have two choices....
A. Try to keep their palaces, gold plated fixtures, MBZ's ,limos, discos, resorts, concubines, and travel to global conferences?

B. Support a Holy Jihad that will assuredly ( after our recent demonstrations) deprive tham of all the earthly goodies?

Door "A" seems the logical course and to achieve that they will need to control their own citizens. Through incentives to behave, backed by police action and legal punishment.

<<All the governments in the Arab countries and Iran are terminal, in fact in most all oil rich nations. What are the chances that they will be replaced peacefully without a significant impact on oil exports?>>>
