Yep, the author has it right. Instead of the blind lashing out, he's got the steely, crushing hand. The Islamic revolition backlash that was to occur is just his fantasy. I think it's all going to be lots of SAS/Special Forces operations with the occasional air strike. Low level actions without a wholescale invasion.

I agree. Time to dust off some off the old style atom bombs of the Hiroshima range and take out a few hundred thousand. Not to destroy the entire nation just to remind people that we have used nukes in anger before and to put the fear of our God in them. BTW: The reason we didn't kill Saddam during D.S was the Christian belif in redemption. We wanted to believe that Saddam would change his evil ways. We see that we were wrong now.
