Just for the record...there are over 2 BILLION Muslims worldwide. 2 BILLION. If anything close to 2 BILLION people declared some sort of Holy War on the West or the United States, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here...

There are not "over 2 BILLION Muslims worldwide."
There are 1.3 billion. Get your facts straight.
Also, if you're going to think in terms of East-West, Islam is a Western religion.
Finally, if the bin Ladens of this world were able to get all Muslims to declare war on the "infidels," they (and not the US) would be devistated. One of bin Laden's 6 areas of contention with the US is that the US maintains favorable relations with nations that bin Laden perceives as oppressing Muslims. These nations explicitly include China, India and Russia. So lets see, a theocratic fundamentalist Islamic "nation" versus the US, China, India and Russia in World War IV. Gee, I wonder who would win that one.
