It really doesn't matter, pb. As I alluded to in a post back, the forces of Islamism are still winning and have been winning since Bin Laden began attacking the West 20 years ago. The revolution in Egypt is actually a step back from free market capitalism; Lebanon is back under Iran's thumb; Pakistan’s security services are linked to the Islamist Taliban movement entrenched in the North along with their Al Qaeda allies; Islamists view King Abdullah in Jordan as an illegitimate Western puppet; The Saudi and other royal families are totally unacceptable to Islamists who see them as rich elites ruling poor masses; and when we leave Afghanistan and Iraq (as the liberals wish us to do) Pro-Iranian Islamist forces are likely to take hold.
and you know what, they will be welcome to that shit hole of a place. Sooner or later people are going to finally understand that you can't change things over there. It is their way of life, and it has been for so long, nothing can change them.
It like the common cockroach, they will always be there. The only thing to stop them is to nuke them off the face of the earth, and even then others will take their place.
