Jyoti, maybe Saddam is not liked in Indonesia and Malaysia, but once the economic depression takes hold in these countries, they will become fertile ground for demagogues that will fire up the fundamentalist Muslim movement. Literary Arabic, the language that unifies all Moslems, is a powerful instrument in the tongue of a charismatic orator. If the economic situation deteriorates much more, I could see destabilization from west North Africa to east Indonesia, threatening the soft bellies of throth (Jack, here we go again) Europe, Russia and the non Islamic part of South East Asia.

Perception is the better part of reality, especially on the part of the U.S. military. If we get in a crisis, at a minimum the U.S. will put out traveler warnings and tourism there will grind to a stop, and that's the only thing holding the remains of their economy together.
The fear is not one of organized war, it is for random acts of hostility and terrorism against U.S. citizens.
