Jay, you write: "Those extremists,billed as a tiny fraction of Arab Islam,has to go down as the greatest fighting force of all time.For we are led to believe that from sand to shining sand,if only those very few extremists could be defeated,all would be well.Those tiny extremists must control the strings in Lebanon,and Saudi Arabia,and Iraqs sunnis and shia,and in Iran,and Syria,and did I forget Yemen and Gaza,and soon to be the west bank. Sorry. These are not a few extremists.The Arab middle east is overunning with dictators and their capitulating citizens,or religious extemists and their capitulating citizens"

You are so right!!! That tiny group of extremists is 1.2 or 1.3 billion strong!!! Yeah, they are only less than 25% of human population on this planet. Tiny alright!!!

And we, really not we, but our leaders and experts, are still having illusions about them.
