A "realistic defeat of the Arabs" is a pipe-dream, especially when you consider that something like 60% of them are under the age of 18. This may be hard for people to accept in aging countries like Israel and the United States, but these Arabs are here to stay and will be a force to be reckoned with in the 21st century.You must be joking. The Arabs can't even rule themselves...much less any of the world. Also, despite being blessed with oil-wealth, they show every sign of wasting it all. They are only dangerous because they are weak. They are seriously in need of their own "Age of Enlightenment", but are unlikely to develop the cultural courage to start one.

I didn't say the Arabs were going to become captains of industry or lead an effort to eradicate cancer -- I said they were a force to be reckoned with. And if people like you can't see that even now, then I have every reason to expect that events like September 11th are going to occur with boring regularity in the U.S. over the next few decades.
