While Crooke has a point in suggesting that panic and overreaction can have horrible and unintended consequences, I think he fails to fully appreciate the unbridled hubris and arrogance of the Neocons. When you have a group of people who are fully persuaded of their own brilliance and who are in point of fact nothing more than a bunch of halfwitted wannabe amateurs who are fully committed to seeing their suicidal plans through to the bitter, bloody and body strewn end, seems like the logical outcome is; they will have their war and everyone else be damned!

If this becomes an overriding religious war, it will be impossible to contain. The secular west will be internally torn apart having to “pick sides” in such an existential conflict.
