The Carthaginians made that discovery too. Perhaps there is a budding Scipio Africanus among them?

We don't read much about the Italian efforts in GWOT, but they have been working closely with the rest of the western governments to find and capture suspect terrorist cells. We have to remember they are next on the list according to Abu Musab el Zarqawi. I am sure they have security and intel forces working around the clock as every one else has to stop crap from happening. We tend to only hear from a given country after something bad happens. We don't often hear about all the would be's that got caught before they carried out their plans. As all cooperating nations in the GWOT get better connected with databases, inter agency cooperations, things will continue to get harder for terrorist cells to exists in these countries. As we are now seeing, these countries are starting to re-think just how much freedoms that deviate from the laws of those lands, that where permitted in the past, are now going to be acceptable.

Pakistan's Musharaf sort of drove the nail down hard the other day when he made the comment asking why are not muslim immigrants trying to integrate into the societies they migrate to and become trusted citizens. This is going to have more an impact than a lot of folks realize, in this fast moving word where 2 hour old news seems ancient. To have him say such a thing is practically anti-thesis to the Arab culture as well as many southeast asian cultures.

Please do not feel obligated to respond in kind. I just wanted to make this point.
