But it is not good and is demeaning to muslims. It would better to call Al-Queda and like just terrorists.

That's like saying that the term "Fascism" is demeaning to strong right-wing political enthusiasts.

Can we please just blitzkrieg the entire Middle East, drop a MOAB on Al Jaziera, tear down the mosques, burn the Quran, impose secular law, and get all Imperial when the natives try to throw a hissyfit? Pretty please? Tell me the world wouldn't be better off in a hundred years if we did.

Iraqi society has not had the time to evolve past the strictures of its predominat religion, in 50 years time, with a secular govenment, this would likley not be an issue.
This was hardly unforseen, I think most people realised that Saddam was the only thing keeping the Fundies in line.

I was referring to the way the war was presented.

It's certainly a tempting solution after all the bullshit that's come out of that region of the world, but not, I think, the right thing to do.

It would be better to let them quarrel amongst themselves and eat camel shit, but unfortunately they have oil.

We could conduct a daring operation, using the likes of Rowan Atkinson, to whisk their oil out from under them as they sleep.
