how can american military presence do anything but bolster their despotic, theocratic allies in the region?
direct occupation of saudi arabia was angering al-quaeda's support base, so the americans kindly gave them a training ground and some fodder. in reality they bowed to al-quaeda's demands and have done almost nothing to go after its leader.
and allowing iraq's oil to slip back into opec, is from america's big oil standpoint genius, and from the middle class a horrific turn of events.
as for this thread, i'll chuck in another question of the cell-call. i just don't think it was likely. possible? maybe for a few seconds. but someone should try it from a lear jet ad publish the results.
