High oil prices aren't all bad either. It will encourage us to develop the technology to tap the oil sands under the rockies and in Canada, to conserve energy more, and to develop better bio fuels.

I agree on the oil thing, but Radical Islam is cancerous. The thing has to be stopped. Mullahs can't be reasoned with the way dictators or royal families can. They're not thinking regional caliphate. They're thinking global. The swine are already making inroads all over Europe.
I also don't think letting a sector of the world fall to such a disgusting way of life is a bargain any decent society can stand by and watch, no matter how sensible the approach sounds. These people, well, they're not really people. They're not properly educated or assimilated to modern life. I'm a relativist in most things, but Islam is idiocy the way these people practice it, and it would be fine to allow them to live like cavemen, but they're just developed enough that they can and will make trouble far beyond any negotiated borders. It's written in that silly book they follow, like a divine charge. I can't see ssitting back and watching crusaders take over the Middle East.
