New York and Chicago have a paki taxi mafia, they are trying for a monopoly.

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.

Regards


Ali
