I don’t think so. There may continue to be isolated incidents by Jihadists feeling their oats but not a concentration of directed force outside their new borders.
I know there is a big flap about the power being gained by the wackos but it overlooks the strong moderating force of the mass of the population that are not radicals.
I cite Egypt as the example. The wackos gained power but were put down by the more moderate and rational elements. Although it is heretical to say so here, there is a preponderance of moderation in the Sunni populations, especially in the money and power controlling Arab nations in the GCC.
Times are good, business is good. The monied powers will not allow their businesses to be destroyed
The monied powers are so full of themselves they think they are insulated from any terrorist event hurting them financially.
But radical Islam is a persistent para-military cult, and their followers are happy to die for them.
And Obama has given them help and hope they never imagined they would receive from an American President.
No, I respectfully disagree with your position.
We are headed down that slippery slope and our leaders in Washington are either intentional ignoring it or helping it.
The Republicans have their collective heads in the sand, and the Democrats think they’re immune to the threat.
Things will get much, much worse once Obama leaves office. Much like when Clinton left.
