Do you really think that the average Muslim on the streets of Baghdad really cares that much about what's going on in America? It doesn't matter about one's religious leanings; once you make peoples' lives comfortable, the majority are not going to want to get off their backsides because another bunch of people are decadent. You might still get a zealot or two, but in a world of billions that is totally unavoidable.

Besides, we used to say* that the Irish would never be reconciled, and look at the progress there.

*okay, so *I* never actually said that, but the people who were alive and fighting then did.
