That guilded debauchery keeps getting interrupted by the trailer-park Wahabis in the kingdom. The notion that you can "play" an Arab would be comic, if it were not so dangerous. Sooner or later we will have to declare the homestead act and finish up what Urban II started.

The trailer parkers still exist. But most of the Arab-Israeli friction comes from state actors inflaming their own populations. Without a Palestinian problem to whine about and the Shi'ites being a far more pressing issue, I would expect them to devote themselves to blowing up Shi'ites since they have to be angry about something. A win-win as far as I'm concerned.

As long as Israel exists, (heck, as long as the west exists), they will have something to be angry about. Whenever I see neo-cons like Condi or the lunatic left like Jimmy Carter attempting to mediate on behalf of Muslim states, it's very much like watching an animal psychologist expecting rational behavior from a pack of rabid chimpanzees.

Respectfully, (really), I believe you are fooling yourself.
