Mecca, the holiest of holy muslim cities is lcoated in Saudi Arabia. A
US attack means one billion muslims instantly go jihad -- that is World
War III. In the end there would be no jews and white anglo-saxon
protestants left on the face of Earth.

Remember UBL started his anti-USA campaing merely because the USA
installed ALLIED military bases in Saudi Arabia. In the end the WTC
fell.Get a life and don't set up wars from your couch!


Tamas -

Same song, different verse. Hasn't happened.

There was 'supposed' to be a world-wide uprising of the "Arab Street" when:
- the Allies set up bases in Saudi Arabia before GW I
- when the Coalition invaded Iraq in GW I
- when Coalition troops stayed in Saudi Arabia and other ME countries
after the end of GW I
- when the Coalition II invaded Iraq in GW II
- about every 15 minutes when the Israelis do anything.

Hasn't happened. In fact, the street protests are getting smaller and
smaller.

Other than OBL and his crews, the Arab street seems awfully quiet and
peaceful. Perhaps, as is often overlooked, most Muslims are moderates
who dislike and disagree with their Fundamentalist whackos about as much
as the rest of the world does.

Most recent annual report shows terrorist activity down worldwide again
in 2003 (http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/pgtrpt/2003/31569.htm).
