As I said yesterday. I believe the Terrorists have miscalculated and that the events of yesterday will cause a diffusion of their support. They also murdered the only Islamic Ambassador that has come to Iraq. He was an Egyptian. Mainstream Muslims in the Middle East will have to come to terms with that event now and will have to search their souls to determine where their loyalties lie.

Previously it may have seemed to many that the radicals were for the champions of anyone who disagrees with the USA. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Egyptians will either over throw Mubarak or throw their full support behind the government of Iraq. I predict the latter. They have a (US backed) highly trained and developed military that at one time was comparable to Israel's.

If they back Iraq politically and militarily, this becomes a whole new ball game.
