Ive almost gotten to the point where I think it's a good idea to let "civil conflict between distinct Muslim factions" play their hands out, that we will have that mnay less Jihads knuckleheads to deal with when our national interests are involved.

The problem is they (the combatants) don't stay in one spot.
You could say that there is a global civil war going on inside Islam and that 9-11 was collateral damage.

Also remember after the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan there was a civil war for power there also. That worked out real good.

I guess my point is the world has become too small & interconnected place to allow this kind of thing to go on in these dark disconnected places any more.
