#4 ASIA TIMES > {Spengler] HOW RADICAL ISLAM MIGHT DEFEAT THE WEST: A REPRISE.

and

* FREEREPUBLIC > FIFTH FLEET READY FOR IRAN ATTACKS, EXPERTS SAY; + [Anonymous]FORMER US OFFICIAL: IT MAY BE TOO LATE TO STOP IRAN FROM GETTING THE NUCLEAR BOMB.

"NIGHTMARE SCENARIO" for US remains IRAN PASSING NUCBOMB/WEAPS TECHS TO HEZBOLLAH [read, WHERE GOES THE NUC HEZZIES HIZZIES HUZZIES HISSIES HAZZIES, SO GOES AL QAEDA + TALIBAN + LeT +...@]

MILPOL = GEOPOL PRAGMATISM-REALITY > even iff it bodes true that Islamist Iran declares it has NUCWEAPS[2012-after], + does indeed covertly support Radical Islamist MilTerr Groups, IRAN OR OTHER NUKULLAR ROGUE STATE(S) CAN ALWAYS FORMALLY DENY IT DOES SO IRREGARDLESS OF THE MERITS/STRENGTHS OF ANY US-WORLD EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, ESPEC IFF NUCTERROR BEGINS AFTER 2012 IN CONUS.

Unlike the Major, Tribal Wars of the 20th Century and prior, the US PER SE WILL ONLY HAVE MULTIPLE, DISPARATE, NUKE-WMD ARMED GROUPS + CELLS + ATOMS OF INDIVIDUALS TO ATTACK, NOT SOVEREIGN GOVTS, NATIONS, ARMIES, TRIBES-ETHNICS, OR EVEN 1980's AMAZON-DESTROYING COMPANIES TO ATTACK WID THE FULL MIGHT OF ITS ARMED FORCES. Until truly centralist OWG is formally established, the US = US-Allies will only have the CONFEDERATIST, UNANIMOUS CONSENT-CENTRIC UNO, INTERPOL, + ICC.

NUCLEAR MILITANCY-TERRORISM > means, among other, that even the mighty UNSC MAY INEVITABLY LOSE MUCH OF ITS POWER TO TAKE DIRECT OR JOINT MILECON ACTION. INFORMATION WILL BE KEY, NOT ARMIES ANDOR FIREPOWER, ETC.
