JR, as always, you are all seeing and all knowing. I bow to superior intellect and total understand of all in the world.
Vick: I don't have specific suggestions. I feel deep down that the current extreme paths (attack! attack! ... and my favorite "we will force you to be free!" vs do nothing, appeasement, ignornace, etcc) are not going to find answers, but with rather cause more of the same to occur.
More importanly, the current trends show the US getting more and more isolated, and the terror / muslim / arab groups becoming more powerful and more influencial. It isn't obvious, but they do have their hands on many of the levers of power now, at least indirectly. The move by OPEC to reduce oil output at a time of high prices is possibly one of those levers, pulled from far.
I don't have any good answers, I wish I did.
