How about an inter-Islamic war?

How about a Saudi-Iranian (or Shi'ate-Sunni) war ? Let them wage wars on each other ! Another Mahdi trick like that in Mecca in 1979 or a judicious use of the Shi'a minority's complains in Saudi Arabia or the Sunni minority's plight in Iran might provoke Iran or Saudi Arabia respectively to intervene and start a war. Any other ingenious strategeme (there is enough hatred between Iran and the Saudis) might also work so that we might have a war that should eventually make both of those evil states bleed to death.

At some moment also Pakistan could be provoked to enter the war on the wahhabites' side. In that case India may prove a valuable player in the game with its nuclear potential and known hatred of Pakistan. Some promises could be made for India and a losing side could be supported for some time to continue hostilities. This way the desired result of weakening and/or destruction of these three evil Moslem empires might be achieved without a single drop of American blood being spilt.

As to higher oil prices , one might take advantage of that favor innovative technologies at the expense of the traditional monopolies which hinder spread of alternative sources of energy... This scheme might have some disadventages too but at least it would spare many American lives and serve the vital interests of the US and the West.
