I am more worried about the educated ones than the illiterate masses. The illiterate masses do not as rule stir up the crowd into hysteria. Bin Laden was Oxford educated. His top lieutenant was trained as a surgeon in Egypt. The madman Assad in Syria is an opthamologist. Look out from an educated barbarian.

You got that right. In world history, the best recipe for mass uprisings, massacre, tragedy, comes from the evil of a few educated men that are able to manipulate an ignorant populace. Even though these protests greatly anger and worry me, I know that all these people, including the idiotic "martyr"-bombers et al, are merely misguided sheeple caught in the midst of their evil leaders agenda and rhetoric. Can you fathom masses of population that have NO IDEA about their past, or the rest of the world, other than what they are told? And the saddest thing, it's them we're going to have to kill. Such is human nature, such is the nature of war. One day, (if Islam survives this) there will be many "we didn't know" apologies, similar to post-WW2 Germany.
