I'm sure the average Akhmet is over it and would love it if they could all just get along but leadership needs the tension. The wars have just taken a more minimalist mode as having had their fannies whuped in the old days was too embarrassing to risk again. No way it remains a war of words as it conflicts with the arab mindset.

Pretty sure the rest of the neighborhood is onboard with all you suggest at least in terms of risk but they won't fight or even scold for fear of seeming un-muslim.

IF it comes to battle it will be a pretty brief, mainly air and minimalist in terms of civilian targets. As to no recovery, that will have to take the form of the population saying no with authority. If the mullahs get the idea that they risk their authority they'll back off pretty quick. They would likely be content to be sort of wealthy and peaceful after this rather expensive lesson.

As to the future... thats in the hands of the population. They are the ants that can prevail by sheer numbers and just a little stubbornness.

[QUOTE="dogtowner, post: 180046, member: 2483"] I'm sure the average Akhmet is over it and would love it if they could all just get along but leadership needs the tension. The wars have just taken a more minimalist mode as having had their fannies whuped in the old days was too embarrassing to risk again. No way it remains a war of words as it conflicts with the arab mindset.
