the possibility of war serving OBL's interest....
Raoul this may be the case, but it cannot be included in the policy calculus.
If it is playing into al Queda's bloody little hand, then the peaceful portion of the Muslim world had best take notice.
The great danger of any future success of al Queda, Hammas, Hezbollah or any other Muslim extremeist effort outside of Palestine will be an open war against Muslims.
Muslims will targeted in every part of the world outside the mid-east and a new crusade of genocide could be the result.
I sincerely hope your assessment of the situation is off base.
