Thanks for the sarcasm.
You seem to have an actual working knowledge of all this stuff so for me to try to argue would be pointless. Though, I still think Saddam would have kept Iraq in better shape than it is in now!
I just think "they" need to bring themselves out of their sorta "crusades" mentality that's going on just now, rather than force dragging them out of the dark ages. In the UK we actually don't worry that much about terrorism most of the time, despite the best efforts in the media (and hey, I absolutely do agree that the media telling folks about military stuff is definitely not good). The only serious attempts they had were pretty poor efforts really. I bet the Glasgow airport one didn't even make international news ('cos it didn't really count. A guy drove a Jeep full of gas cylinders into the doors, it didn't explode but went on fire, driver got out and ran away, baggage handler chased him down and kicked him in the ball sack.). London would be a bit scarier and more likely, but the intelligence folk seem to have it under control. I'm guessing some of this info comes from people on the ground in these war torn places?
I bet they are gonna be getting a lot of overtime in those intel places all over Europe right now, a load more potential "customers" have arrived!
