    They can't afford to do it for long, and it would be bad policy anyway.

    They aren't interested in you anyway. Your job was to attack Iraq or some other Muslim country and galvanize popular opinion against the pro western secular Islamic regimes.

    If they win SA, it is "Mission Accomplished".

      No, our job was to attack Afghanistan, which we duly did. It might be more convenient for them that Iraq is majority infidel Shiite, but...
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Yes, and you won (sort of).

        Then you gave them a second chance by invading Iraq.

        Dumbest move of the century, bro. Must be that American sense of fair play.

          Just a change of scenery. If they aren't attacking civilians in Iraq, they're attacking them in Afghanistan.

          It is ironic that we're considering Afghan Sunnis more reliable allies than the Iraqi Shiites. You know, the same Afghans who changed alliances weekly only a couple of years ago.

            You want them onside. Crack down on Israel. Every Arab in the world would kiss Bush's ass.

              The Israeli problem is something of a strawman, even though obviously it might help with the moderates in the Arab world (where will we find them...). Recreation of the Caliphate doesn't have much to do with Israel, AFAIK. Notice that AQ doesn't talk much about Israel.

              Anyway, I think there's a chance that Israel/Palestine will settle. Might be 50 years from now, though. Not something we can really control.

                OBL does. It's a sore point he can prod.

                  He just tacks it on at the end. He can prod the sore point, but like I said before, it's just a change of scenery. He's got plenty to choose from, or can just make this **** up out of wholecloth. If It's not Somalia, it's Sudan. If it's not Sudan, it's Afghanistan. If it's not Afghanistan, it's Iraq, etc.. The core ideology doesn't really reference the Israeli question.

                    Still, it would be worth it just to see the look on LOTM's face.

                    Don't worry. I doubt it will happen in SA.

                      Besides, I admit to wanting to stick it to the Saudis out of spite as a bonus. A post-modern salting of the fields. Maybe that's irrational.

                        Believe me when I say that Islamic terrorists are the worst of Americas problems...once people pull away from religion, they'll have to find new reasons to attack America besides the fact that it is run by a bunch of white Christians...no, then they'll start attacking it because it promotes democracy and freedom...

                        Whatever America does, the Arabs will support the opposite, even if it means supporting an Athiest Police State known as China...

                        Funny that CCP is very similiar to CCCP (USSR in Russian, of course)...

                              Agathon is completely wrong about the Saudis having to 'eat sand'. They're more or less self-sufficient in terms of food production.

                                I wonder what these Suadi volunteers think about blowing up Shia mosques? Are they really cruising for an inter-national religious civil war?
                                The Sunni terrorists considered attacking ****es to be a religious obligation since they view Shi'a to be heritics. Even Albert Speer, our poster here, who is a moderate muslim would occationally ramble on about the Shi'a heritics. Further more the Sunnis Arabs have come to the conclusion that in a democracy they will be a small minority instead of the ruling faction they've been for the last 500 years. Under Turkish, British, and even up until 2003 the Sunnis were considered the educated, wealthy, and elite which would retain power in the country. Each foreign invader up until the current coopted the Sunni by allowing them to remain the ruling elite as long as they worked as middlemen. The US/UK in 2003 over throw the Sunni Arab elite and attempted to replace it with a democracy headed by a Shiite-Kurd alliance.

                                The population of Iraq is:

                                60% Shi'a Arab
                                15.5%-16% Kurd (mostly Sunni about 10% Shi'a but they all put Kurdish nationalism ahead of religion)
                                3% Assyrian-Chaldean Christians (same group but with minor religious differences. Chaldeans claim Pope is head of Church, Assyrians claim local Patriarch is head but rites are the same)
                                1%-1.5% Turkmen
                                20% Sunni Arab

                                The Sunnis clearly can't hold on to power since the Shi'as want power after being denied it for centuries while even Sunni Kurds hate Arabs more then they like fellow Sunnis. The other groups don't amount to enough to mean much of anything.
