I don't know how to put a measure on how likely it is exactly or what.

But there is a potential here for total catastrophe in the form of the Ayatollah Sistani or similar declaring a holy war against the West, against the United States and Israel together.

You know, bin Laden did not have a religious rank.

He had respect because he'd been wounded in battle and slept on the floor of the cave with the boys and things like that.

And so people paid him, you know, he's like a mafia boss.

He was the boss of a crime syndicate where he had like this high stature that people respected and people would do what he said, you know, kind of thing.

But he was not some kind of supreme unified religious leader of Sunni or Wahhabi Salafi Muslims.

It was a political thing.

But Ayatollah Sistani could say, if you believe in God, you have to fight.

And there would be potentially tens of millions of people at war with the United States, and the American targets in the West.

And as we talked about before, and presumably your entire audience has discussed with their friends in their living rooms or in their pickup trucks before,

America, the world, is lousy with soft targets, man.

If we're at war against legions of terrorists, then they can do significant damage.

Now, I don't know how many Shiite Muslims are in America or how loyal to the commands of the Ayatollahs they may or may not be.

But on the margin...

there's probably some and you know speaking that first day when they killed those little girls on that first day that you know they started on a friday night saturday night a senegalese american here in austin grabbed his rifle and went down to 6th street and killed three people and wounded 15 more before he was stopped

and killed.

And I mean, hell dude, I didn't even know they had Shiites in Senegal.

What do I know?

And, but this was just, there's no reason in the world to think that anyone made him do this.
