I've been mulling this over. I think what we're trying to find out in Iraq and Afghanistan is if islam can either be compatible or co-exist with civilization. In my opinion, best case scenario is that they can co-exist with civilization. They'll always be blowing eachother apart and raping their women and beasts of the field, but as far as blowing up our embassys and flying jets into our buildings, that won't happen much.
They'd better hope they can acheive that not so lofty goal, because the alternative is going to involve about 1.2 billion "people" dispatched to hell.
