The problems will arise not from direct military attacks on the US, or any sort of Soviet style stand off which islamic states are incapable of, rather from pushing the people towards the fanatic fringe, and then toppling the current US supported regimes in Arab countries. Most of these regimes are despotic and need to be removed, but if successful revolutions come from the islamic front, instead of just Iraq and Afghanistan there may be 10 or 15 extremist states. These states collectively still won't amount to much economically or militarily, however, the Anthrax attacks in the US, and recently in Pakistan show that weapons can be developed without massive infrastructure. These were just the starting fumbling attempts, the first steps in bioweapons. Similar to the bumbling attempt a few years back to blow up the WTC. If the hostilities continue, who is to say, ten years down the line, they won't pull of another successful strike, however this time with bioweapons, and maybe one the world isn't prepared for, like it wasn't for the sucide plane bomb. And remember, previously with MAD, the control on the use of such weapons was the fear of mutual destruction, however, now one side of the equation doesn't really care if it gets destroyed, as long as it gets the other side. Yes, USA and its buddies can carpet bomb the rest of the world flat as a pool table, however, can they do it fast enough to stop someone somewhere from developing an armageddeon weapon? This is not about patriotism, or cheerleading for your side. It is not even about who is right or wrong. The only real sides are survival or death.
