How long has that been gone? Seven centuries? The Arabs can't even pull together to help out the Palestinians or deal with Iraq, so they're going to form a religious union of nations from Pakistan to Morocco?
Cheney's just trying to scare everybody. Might as well worry about the return of the Holy Roman Empire.
but he's missing the point that the modern world relies on what comes out of the ground there. If regional war ensues and the oil stops flowing then civilization grinds to a halt and most of us starve.
or how do we figure everything out? Oh that is hard, well good thing there is still oil.
It is that rationale (thinking is hard) that will lead us to an America where everyone prays to Jesus while the Japanese and Germans invent everything new. Were we fighting Fascism then, or just fighting Hitler's Fascism so we could replace it with UN Fascism.
