What the HELL is going on in Iraq.
Bush and Blair are trying to "Democratise" the whole of the Middle East,and Saddams Iraq was an easy touch.
Western style "democracy",is the Wests only defence from Islamic Fundamentalism. If it is accepted by the people, it will weaken the power of the clerics and ultimately, destroy Islam.   However ,it is a dangerous game.    As I stated in another thread, these fundamentalists do not fear death ,they actually welcome it .
Almost every one now recognises that these people have "sleeper cells" in every major city in the west.
This is the scenario...The fundamentalists acquire from Eastern Europe, Smallpox, or some other virulent and fatal disease.Their cell in London are given a sample,and two of their number are infected voluntarily.They travel all over london for a week,before symptoms appear and infect thousands of people.Within a further week London closes....Health service cant cope...Public transport stops...Business confidence evaporates.
A week later Bush gets a message saying...The New York cell is in place and ready to go,followed by the Paris cell,ect ect.
Collapse of Western Society....
This scenario is not a wild flight of fancy, but a very simple scheme to put into operation.This is what scares the shit out of Britain and America.
In my opinion ,the only way to deal with Islamic Fundamentalism ,is not to force them to take drastic measures,but to compromise, give a little and hope the climate changes for the better...Ake
