Hot, hot, hot druggie on druggie action.

I wouldn't call it a good thing per se, though, since as with drug cartels having civvies caught up in the crossfire, the Middle East instability always has a potential to spill over onto others (ignoring the fact that a lot of innocents are caught up in it). And that's not to mention the surging oil prices.

Ironically, however, Bush has not only destabilized the situation but also now has to account for keeping it under control. If he wanted "hot raghead on raghead action" - pull the troops out of Iraq and pull the carriers out of the Persian Gulf and THEN watch what happens.
