#1 Crash and burn sand fleas, you'll run out of money eventually, before you have a nuke I hope.

I say hope because it is clearly evident to me that nobody is going to DO anything to stop you, just a lot of big talk.

#2 Just once, I'd like to see a diplomat instruct an opponent, baldly, "talk or die!" It'd go a long way towards seducing me away from the supposition that the Retief novels were disguised non-fiction.

#4 STRATEGYPAGE > COUNTER-TERRORISM: WAITING FOR THE AMERICANS TO LEAVE. - Article on MUGTADA AL-SADR, ANTI-US "TIME" FACTORS/VARIABLES, and how the likely future face of Islamist terrorism in Iraq will be SHIA RADICALIST. SADR's + ISLAMIST PROB IN IRAQ-ME > ARTICLE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT AMER INTENDS TO STAY IN IRAQ = ME FOR A "LONG, LONG TIME" - ALTHOUGH ITS NOT CLEAR HOW POTENT ANY SAID REMAINING US-ALLIED MILFORS WILL BE, ARTICLE HINTS THAT AMER IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE PRO-DEMOCRATIC IGA VULNERABLE, NOR MIL UNSUPPORTED VV WEAK MIL UNITS.

StratPage Article > describes SADR as "may be slow, but not stupid". METHINKS ITS MORE CORRECT TO SAY SADR IS "FOCUSED", NOT SLOW. Lest we fergit, ANTI-US/WESTERN "TIME" etc. gener works IN FAVOR OF RADICAL ISLAMISM EVENTUALLY GETTING THEIR "ISLAMIST/IRANIAN BOMB", espec in the absence of BILATERAL PEACE, IMPLOSION, OR "DEMOCRATIC REGIME CHANGE".

*As a reminder, TOPIX > UN BANS/SANCTIONS WILL NOT STOP PROLIFERATION.
