Um, one last point.
If islam is a threat, it is solely because muslims are sitting on top of very large, and rapidly dwindling, supply of oil.
When the oil runs out, the middle east will go back to being a cultural and economic backwater.
Rest assured, the future does not belong to islam.





Not necessarily. The Princes, Emirs, Sultans and others (not the least of which the rest of the binladen family) have more money than God right now and the smart ones are diversifying like mad. They'll always have a few mil to plop down on the next loon who's got a bug up his ass about a cartoon or a pic of a puppy dog.

As to the rest, is fiscal conservatism enough to save us?
Right now it seems we're at each others throats, egged on by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the Daily Show.


I have no fucking idea how Obama has gotten this far. 2 years in the senate and now he's the democratic candidate for president?


And I don't think McCain expected to get this far either. The man seems totally unprepared for his own presidential campaign, let alone leading this country.


Honestly, I don't see anyone on the horizon who seems up to the task.






I agree with the rest of this, though.
