Much is made about the civilization threat of the Islamic nations to the West. Overlooked is that Bush, 41, assembled a coalition including the Islamic world. Now something happened in the last dozen years to fracture this relationship. Was the Clinton-Bush bombing, the rise of Sharon, or an awakening of the Arab world?
War could not be any long term aim of the Arabs because they are the last one at the crowded table with a 'weapon of mass destruction'. Not too great planning if they were planning to have such a weapon in building for some 'war of civilizations'.
The war will be a cakewalk. How can it be otherwise with the world's lone superpower vs a clown who couldn't knock a plane out of the sky in 12 years of bombing? However, what comes next? As Israel knows, it is human 'weapons of local destuction' that greet occupiers. Then as we 'Sharonize' them, the Arab world will awake.
