I personally think that it's only a matter of time before some idiot sets one of those off in the States somewhere (Hopefully nowhere near me).

Doubt it. It will be the Middle East where it goes off, and they will nuke each other back to the stone age. Bin Laden and his cronies will even forget America exists while this is happening since they will be nuking fellow Middle Easteners all the while.

You are being optimistic, IMO. We have been squatting on their holy dirt and militarily irritating these people for decades. If things keep on going as they are now, I have to agree it's only a matter of time before there's an Arab atomic fireball over a US city.

I see it as a minor irritant of us getting in between them. Yes, they would want us gone so that the two peoples can kill each other like they've been doing since the dawn of time. Trust me when i say that they could care less about us in reality. They just use us, or use Israel as an excuse to unite. Give them the bomb, and I'm sure one sect will want to kill the other to achieve domination in the region.

Mark my words!

To an extent, I agree with you. But for any of them to play power games in the region, they know they need us out. Not to mention anything of the religious crazy element that will dream of that mushroom cloud until we are out of their holy land. Kind of ironic that Islam is ultimately what will keep the Middle East feuding long after we are gone (which will only happen if the value of oil goes away, one way or another), when Mohammed almost certainly intended for it to unify the nomadic pagan tribes.

I hear ya. it is not a religion based on peace is the problem - Thats where Mohammed went wrong. no matter how you spin it, the Koran calls for violence.
