#1 I think the fact that Putin just used Belsan to help morph himself into another Stalin has shocked Arabs into a self-realization mentality.

They attacked the WTC, not realizing what the US was capable of and now their attack on Russia has turned back the clock to allow Putin an excuse to remind them how just uncivilized warfare can really be.

I'm not quite sure why they thought they could sit quietly as terrorists slaughtered our friends and neighbors in their name - but they did. They counted on our decency and exploited our freedoms. They refused to look in the mirror and place blame where it belonged and instead looked for scapegoats to ease their shame. They felt big when bullies beat us up, despite the fact that we had actually done nothing to harm them.

It was always our deceny that protected them and gave them the luxury to look the other way. Now, as they realize what an uncontrollable monster they have created - they will face the consequences of their lack of deceny.

#2 2B - You sure are generous. I don't think that anyone except the guy writing the AlQ Stylebook has noticed anything at all. They've been a fragmented bunch of splinters re-acting since Afghanistan. Regards the US: We lay out the flypaper somewhere else, and they show up to fight the Great Satan. Everywhere else: attack the weakest link and pretend it was your choice all along. They're not as smart as you credit them, IMHO!

#5 .com - i was referring to the recent spike of articles like this one, where "moderate Muslims" are finally acknowledging that perhaps they may indeed have some responsibility for the monster they created.

I've noticed that now, with Putin unleashed, they seemed to have woken with a start. They could always count on the US to play fair and nice, but Putin won't be so nice.

It's nice that they are finally starting to see the light. The problem is that it's too late.

#6 2B - Okay, gotcha.

Idea: We'll leave them alone if they start killing jihadists by the boatload. When an innocent Italian truck driver (or whatever) is kidnapped, I want to see Al Zarqi's head on a pike within 48 hrs - held aloft by the truck driver. They could start with Basayev - that would impress me some. If they do this, say, 40-50 thousand times, then I'll say, "Whoa! Cool! Let's backoff and give these guys some room! Good hunting, guys! Need any ammo?"

Less than this - no deal. Fry 'em up.

#9 I think the Algerians are a good example of killing jihadis by the boatloads. They seem to be taking care of the "preaching and combat" crowd pretty well without any pressure from the west.
