I know that there's no way that you were able to see my reply before you began posting yours (given the time/date stamp of yours). I am glad you posted your comment because I know that I (or you) would have taken a lot of flak if it was a lone view. So here's my question to you: are we the only two - of a light handful - whom are replying on this thread?
Maybe so...this crusade to end the world of tyranny through the push for democratic elections in the Middle East has not been going well for us so far...the Muslim Brotherhood (of which OBL is a member) had a big showing in the recent Egyptian elections...same with the Shiite fundamentalists in the last elections in Iraq...Buchanan has been predicting this for some time
