#1 Oh yeah The political model for the Ages.

So, uh, what do you do when your population youth bubble bursts - finally reaching its critical mass of frustration, rises up and squishes your aging Rev Guards, and confines you to house-arrest in the mosque?

The Black Hats always give me Buzzword Orgasmia:
Classic myopic mercenary dogmatic Islamofascists.

Oooo. Was it good for you?

#5 When are countries going to stop wasting their time trying to re-invent the wheel?

"Hmm, where should we look for examples to follow? Where oh where in the entire world could we look to see any examples of countries that have great prosperity, freedom from arbitrary dictates of rulers, lack of domestic strife, ability for people to say and believe and practice whatever they choose without habing to fear being strung up or tortured or getting stoned or their heads chopped off?"
"Nope, can't see any examples."

#7 The best weapon Iraq has against becoming a Shi'ite theocracy is that the assorted mullahs suffer from too much "big-man-meism."

That said, these folks are going to be players and there's no use getting too excited about it.
