Islam will take over the world.
Iran is well on its way to controlling Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank and Afghanistan. Egypt has now embraced Hamas and will defend them if Israel attacks. In addition it is likely that Egypt and Jordan will fall to the Muslim Brotherhood. Yemen is already part of the Islamic advance.
It is not hard to imagine that all these countries will coalesce and that Sudan and Nigeria will join. Then how can Northern Africa not, including Libya,Tunisia Algeria and Morocco. Turkey too is becoming Islamist and will join this axis.
Iran also has allies in South and Central America. Europe will crumble. Russia is losing the demographic battle.
Can all this be reversed or even stopped without a major war?
Gary J. Schmitt, AEI, asks the question, To Be, or Not to Be . . . an Empire. He wants to know what “America’s grand strategy will–or should–be after George W. Bush’s presidency.”
We all want to know.
