There is a big difference between Hitler and these nutballs. Hitler had a realistic chance of pulling off world conquest. It is possible to point out numerous points in time where changes in his policies could have credibly resulted in his winning the war.
Nobody has yet pointed out to me any realistic scenario under which Osama and his morons conquer the world. Ain't gonna happen.
The only question at issue is how much damage we allow them to do before we destroy them. My personal opinion is that we will have to lose a city before we get serious. Very unfortunately.
Have you seen the appeasement lefties in the USA and Europe recently. They would surrender in a heartbeat...

Well, I completely agree that Al-Qaeda doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell to actually pull this through.
I just wanted to point out that a small clique of lunatics can cause huge damage, if they play their cards well. After all, they managed to topple the Afghan government in the 1990s. In the long run I am absolutely sure that the west will prevail and islamic fundamentalism will fail the same way communism failed: Because freedom is stronger than ideologic hatred.
