In about 5 years the Al Queda militants will claim victory over oil.
They will claim the divinity of their cause because companies worldwide will have hastened a move to clean fuel with less dependence on oil by that time.
Be assured that Al Queda and the philosophy they twist will have had nothing at all to do with any beneficial change.
There is sure to be a lot of back slapping in those camps though.
This is always the way half-wits treat hindsight or a fortunate turn of events; as if they own providence and have somehow pushed it along with wrong-headed words and deeds. Suddenly an unexpected outcome is included among the greatest of justifications for the 'cause'.
If it happens that as oil dependency declines and Al Queda gets bigger and somehow rises in your esteem know that you have been duped. And if you catch someone dreaming that it is so -- that Al Queda should somehow be credited with erasing the brown cloud over the world? Don't bother to martyr them. Don't give an inch. Don't honor the thought with more than the silent derision it deserves.
