#1 Maybe they'll say that Allah punished them for not killing enough infidels; not subjugating enough woman; not stamping out enough music and laughter, etc.

#3 I'm having a hard time knowing what to think about this. On the one hand these asshats celebrated Kat-rita hitting us and killing about a thousand of us saying that it was Allan punishing us. On the other hand, lots of people who were just trying to get by in life were also killed.

I dont think I've ever been so conflicted in my life. I am so sorry for all those decent folks killed and at the same time I hope the quake got that f%&&^**&&&^& Zawahiri and f@#$^&**^^# bin loopy too.

You're right Mhw. Their belief system is absolutely inpenetrable to reason and reality.

#4 The jihads have suffered a setback due to the earthquake, as they have suffered significant casualties and their infrastructure has been seriously damaged.

Like everyone else in this region, they will have to rebuild. To do this will require resources, the main one which will be funding. So the big questions will be:

1. Who will give the money?
2. What order of magnitude will the funding be?
3. How fast will the funding be available?

The answers will determine how fast they get back in business.

Terrorists thrive in these semi-anarchy backward backwater sh*tholes. They spread the money around, buying protection and isolation. The people living there are stuck. They cannot go anywhere. We took Afghanistan away from them, we are working on taking Iraq from them. They get help and a base to an extent in Iran. They seem to be setting up shop in Bangladesh, and all the sh*thole places in Africa. They will fluorish in these locations, especially in tribal, or warlord styles of government.

The way I see it, a good way to stunt the growth of the jihadis is to squeeze their funding. That will require the cooperation of governments, and will also require the use of getting a message to the funding sources that they will clearly understand, if ya know what I mean.

As far as the human tragedy is concerned, we can do what we can for relieving human misery. Providing a long term fix is up to the governments of the region. You cannot take all your wealth and make nukes, or graft, or whatever, and not expect to take hits on neglected infrastructure and lack of building codes and enforcement. Case in point: The MMs of Iran and the devastation in Bam, Iran due to the earthquake there.

#5 Blankets, water, tents, food, manpower assistance (transport, medical, etc) - no cash. Not one dime.

"getting a message to the funding sources"

Lol - so how's your Arabic and Farsi?

La atta kala'am al Aribiya... = "I don't speak Arabic"

Dunno how to say the same for Farsi... What I'd actually want to say to both would buy me a quick trip to the Sink Trap.

#6 As the Senate investigates the Soddies, this might be a good time for a litle old fashioned arm-twisting...

Capische, Your Excellency Prince Turki al-Faisal?
