The growing power of the religious right/moderates in the USA scares me 100 times more than any muslim fanatic with 10kg of semtex strapped to his chest because the former have already managed to get their idiot to a position where he has a finger on the nukes.
The point that I am making is that democracy waters down the powers of extremists. If the US become too aggressive then it will find itself being "corrected" through International Trade and economics. This will have an effect on business in the US which will feed its way to the ballot baox. The danger with the US is that there is no other economy challenging it.

Originally posted by eternalnomadHi BGG,
I must admit that was a first rate post with some interesting predictions - it certainly gave me much to think about.
I would be interested to know where you think Pakistan would figure in all this.
As we all know, they are a muslim country with a known nuclear capability - they do however appear to be more "westernised" than their middle-eastern cousins.
At least 10 people have been killed and many injured in north-western Pakistan in a suspected suicide bomb attack on a religious procession.
The explosion tore through a crowd of Shia Muslims marking the festival of Ashura in the town of Hangu in North-West Frontier Province.
One report said the devotees were also sprayed with gunfire.
Troops were sent to restore order and a curfew was imposed after angry pilgrims reacted by burning shops and cars.
Pakistan's Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said: "Right now we are hearing that eight to 10 people were killed, but these reports are still to be confirmed."
The explosion erupted in a bazaar as hundreds of people processed from the main Shia mosque.
"We thought the bomb was detonated by remote control, but now it appears to be a suicide attack," local police chief Ayub Khan told the Associated Press news agency.
The BBC's Barbara Plett said the number of dead could rise further because so many people were injured.
Maulana Khurshid Anwar, a leader of the Shia procession, told AP the explosion happened just as he was about to address the crowd.
Ashura marks the death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson Imam Hussein, an event that led to the split between Shia and Sunni Muslims.
The festival has frequently been marred by attacks on Pakistan's minority Shias by suspected Sunni militants.

Once upon a time
Originally posted by darmstadtI used to work with Alf once upon a time
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
etc..
