Somer,
I called attention to the "domino theory" in post #25.
Same old, same old.
It was a lie then, and it's still a lie.
If the Bushco junta really wished for this to end (and I don't think they do, cause Halliburton, BKR, Blackwater, and major GOP corporate contributors are continuing to cash in on the blood expended by our troops), Condi would be arranging a "Moslem Summit" involving many of the nations in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, where moderate Moslems might be enlisted to find a diplomatic solution.
Let's face it. This really is a quagmire. Old arguements will be trotted out to justify it. History is a circle that runs on blood.
