#2 Unless they can somehow kill off two generations of tribal leaders in a short time, the jihadis are hastening the day when Iraq will be a fully functioning secular democracy.

Zawahiri and the rest of the al-Q leadership are beginning to realize this, but they have let loose an avalanche of unthinking, ill-educated fanatics they no longer control. Much as Arafat's duplicity has led to Hamas and the divisions in Gaza and the west bank.

Would that those were the only examples .... but I fear we'll see a lot more unravelling around the world before this plays itself out. And I don't think the Islamicists will be the only players - the morphing of MS-13 in latin america and their challenge of our borders & police murders here being another example.

#3 MS-13 is a major threat, needs strong daylight (and high velocity lead) cure.
