I agree..the Arab political world is as cut-throat as it gets. I do think that there is something stirring and it couold have a huge impact on the situation. If things get too hairy the opposition movement may have an opportune moment to stage a coup but they will need the help of the West and I pray that we are up to the task. Europe will bail as seems to be their nature now.
Western Europe is a disaster waiting to happen. And that's a shame.
The Poles have been quiet but very loyal allies in the WOT as have the Aussies. I really admire John Howard and his stance against the Lefties and mohammedans.
