How do you propose to get OIF out of [Muslim country] after you have incited the entire populations of [Muslim countries]

This is a significant problem. I think the cartoon riots were staged basically to stir up Muslims internationally so that they would be "in place" and psychologically prepped to attack our forces and interests in the event that we attack Iran. I also think that is one of the reasons Iran is trying to provoke us into attacking them, so that they can claim to be the injured party. This may be one of the reasons that we are trying to ignore them.

However, Iran is probably going to attack somebody soon anyway, whether us, the Israelis or even another Muslim country that it considers not pure enough, so I certainly hope we are planning what to do with our forces in these places. It is also possible, btw, that certain countries, including Saudi Arabia, are not eager to see Iran upset their apple cart and would not encourage Muslims to attack even if we had to attack Iran. The Saudis probably love their fancy palaces, yachts, super-model call-girls, gold toilet fixtures, etc. more than they love the mullahs of Iran.
