TJ, the spark was long, long before that. And the entire Islamic world isn't aflame. And won't be. It would be too bad for them and not so bad for others/infidels. Or, if the entire Islamic world becomes aflame, it will be civil insurrection, such as the French Revolution, general anarchic collapse, or border wars among them.

The Iraq war is basically a Bush vs Hussein game with oil as the ball. Bush had the ball, but then a whole swarm of extra players came in on the other side and the football field boundaries were stretched out a bit. Getting a touchdown is tricky. Well, a few touchdowns are easy enough, but there's no end-of-game whistle, so the score can keep rising.

Recommendation, buy CDMA, move to cyberspace. Oh, wait, you already did [though they called it GPRS]. Sell oil. Sell gold.

Saddam was desparately looking for any WMD to counter anyone that opposes his regime. This issue has been solved. Iran is also looking for THE bomb in order for them to conquest the lost Islamic land, namely Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey, Saudi ... It would be hard to deal with, once the radicals dominate the mideast. Iran could become a major superpower. Would you want to see that ???

recommendation: Canadian oilsands, gold, uranium, alternative energy, healthy beverages
