Okay. True confession, Carolc and WG.

I only got to page 3 when my lexdexia took over and the words just started swimming on me.

But up to that point, what I got out of it was that the guy was thinking that war would force many Isalmic Middle Eastern counties to shape up and fly right.

I guess my feelings are that this can be achieved without a war. The US has not put forth it's best diplomatic foot, or used something along the lines of a Department of Peace to foster fundamantal changes in the way mankind goes about living together.
