#1 The US has learned, with devastating effect, how to perform the "honey pot" as both strategy and tactic. Tens of thousands of boyz from around the world, those individuals "most likely to succeed in murder and mayhem", have been drawn to disaster first at the country level, in both Afghanistan and Iraq; and then concentrated further, in Fallujah. A truly threatening force, the size of several armies, spread out in every country on the globe has been brought together, concentrated, then exterminated. How brilliant! There was no sane alternative to fighting them that wouldn't have cost far more in lives and expense. In addition, we have stripped dozens of countries of potential villains of all stripes. Sucked out their poison, and in the process, derailed the potential for xenophobia and ethnic cleansing against the truly innocent and harmless by those nations' majorities. How can this not be good?

well said. I've often wondered if we didn't provide the bus tickets for them to get there.

#3 The byproduct of the war is that the terrorist network is being rolled up as they step up their recruit and finance activities.

#4 50 years from now...when you and I are dead and gone ...historians will look at what US and British troops are doing in Iraq as a turning point in history. The point where the Islamo-fascism was met head-on and defeated.

#7 Lucky, read the post, Wahhabism in US: A Report from Feedom House down on Page 2.

The introduction alone should prove disturbing reading for Prince Bandar. Once we've got Iraq on the road to democracy, the Sauds may find themselves in the crosshairs. Or they may have a Shia led revolt in their eastern (oil rich) provinces. But the Saud family is going to wish their name was Ewing shortly.
