      I'm not deeply knowledgeable about today's baathist organisational structures in the middle East and North Africa but maybe you are - do you think it will realistically amount to more than aimless riots? That said, my main argument was that even if every Muslim country came together to form some geopolitical superstructure (so just for the sake of argument let's even include impossibilities like Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, Somalia, all the West African countries and even the Muslim former Soviet republics) where would they get the ability to mount an expeditionary force to take the fight to the US? Hell, it seems even taking on the EU and not suffering defeat would be a stretch. I mean I'm all for it, I'm all for depriving the imperial West of its raw resource base, but I just don't see how it's realistically possible before the imperial core has deteriorated much further than it has now.
