Petropolitics has put a new wild card into the deck of Islamic-West relations. Before this, Islamic exploits were self limiting due to resource issues. If they could not be pirates (or in another age, slave kidnappers), their pickings were slim.
Unfortunately, not all petrodollars build spiffy digs for spiffy sheiks who drink RC Cola in a burning hot desert.
Our own sins put the spurs to Islam, as prophesied. We're kidding ourselves if we expect to defeat Islamic hordes while slaughtering our own innocents and spreading abominations around the globe.
