#1 If true, fantastic! Europe needs to handle this problem; after all, it's in their backyard.

#2 Right. The Europeans can use this as a (second) attempt to prove how sole reliance on diplomatic finesse to solve conflicts won't leave in its wake a bunch of dead people. I actually hope they succeed at it, but have little reason to believe they will.

#6 How reliable is Strategy Page?

Supremely. James Dunnigan is a highly-respected military analyst, the author of several good books on military affairs, and one of the founders of SPI, the greatest wargame publisher that ever lived.

#8 I sincerely hope this is true!

Euros - clean up your own back yard. The free ride is over.

Oh - before we leave, we need to arm the Christians. (And any Jews still left there, which I doubt.)
