but the end result would be an attack with some kind of weapon of mass destruction. Most likely this would be biological, as they could be used without the source identified. In any case the likely response will be a massive nuclear attack. A lot of Moslems will die, but the numbers are about 6 million to 1,000 million.

as Israel's sole support, the US can expect more attacks as well. bush jr's description of iran as being a memeber of an axis of evil correspond's to sharon's view, but not to any other countries, except perhaps india. due mainly to population pressures and religion, india is currently attacking sri lanka (ceylon) as well as "settling" in kashmir.

if there is no agreement, my estimate is that the 5,000 dead from the hijack aircraft attacks will just be the first, and there will be more. whether those attacks will kill more or less i don't know, but it is also pretty certain that any us citizen traveling abroad will be fair game. again, the reporter is just the first person to have this happen to them.

the only solution i can see is un deployment. not good, but the best one i can see.
