#2 Connect the dots Mr. Crawford, connect the dots, follow the money, eat well washed organic vegetables, look both ways, avoid Federal Reserve Banks, keep your assets in solid investments such as Emu eggs or Ostrich thigh futures.

#5 He played a proactive role in the fight against the Soviets

In the fight against the Soviets the only thing the Arabs did was to sit along women and children in Pakistan, handle money and perform sickeninng (sickening by Afghan standards) tortures on captured Soviet soldiers and government partisans.

#6 Many of the Arab fighters / would-bes have fled Iraq and moved back to Pak/Afghan territory -- especially those who are figuring that Zarqawi's tactics are losing and that they might get a deal out of the ISI if they stir up enough trouble there again.

Note that the Arabs are naming their own leaders without reference to - or deference to - the local Muslims. The disdain on the part of many Arabs for anyone else, especially darker people, is blatant and pervasive.

#7 In the fight against the Soviets the only thing the Arabs did was to sit along women and children in Pakistan...

Actually, the Arabs did have to fight - once. The Russians stumbled on a forward supply base in far eastern Afghanistan. I don't remember the outcome.
