#1 The enemy is fighting for imposition of the successor (khilafah) regime, as prescribed by Mohammed. Every recent opinon poll in Muslim majority countries, indicates direct support of 40-60% for al-Qaeda. I cannot believe the West's own Muslims are not equally supportive. Not one pro-active thing has been delivered by our Muslims in the counter-terror war. In fact, their leaders are campaigning for restoration of operations of the charities that were fronting for terror. The Khalifah restoration idea, will only die when the believing fanatics are killed. The Western governments are going to be doing things soon, that are unthinkable today. The black flag forces will not burn out on their own.

#2 I find this amazing - someone at Guardian has come close to getting a clue!Yes, Peter,it is kind of like fighting Nazism and Communism.Yes, Peter, it's going to take a lot more before this war is over.Although I see that you stopped just short of the obvious conclusion - that it will take a lot more dead infidels and a hell of a lot more dead muslims before V-I Day dawns.I think you know that too.It's time to wake up and get real.We haven't even seen our Poland yet.

#3 Well put. Sometimes ideas grow when well-funded. Long term we are looking at an old-fashioned ideological struggle ... Check out the article in today's Washington Post by Peters (sorry, no time to search for link) about Islam on the periphery being the key.
