Wonder if it will last?

It will.

I had a few friends who were over there.

The compared the muslims over there with the "cafeteria catholics" or the folks who are "christian in name only".

The muslims there call themselves muslim, but ignore their religion for all effects and purposes.

While they had a good time, and partied like crazy, they couldn't understand why terrorists hadn't bombed this place off the map.

They also said that the immigrants there were effectivly slaves for all effects and purposes.

I think there's a lot more of that in the Muslim world than we're led to believe. Certainly, that's my impression of Iraq. Islam seems to be a thin veneer over a basically primitive, violent, corrupt tribal society. There is no sense of truth whatsoever.
