I believe that the Chinese are going to be a bigger threat to the US than the Isamic terrorists are. If it weren't for a galzillion barrels of
oil, these Arabs would just be out in the dessert chasing each other around on the backs of camels.
The Chinese on the other hand are about to surpass the US both economically and militarily. They are increasing military spending by double digit amounts, year after year after year. Right now it is Tibet, in another year or two they will be taking over Taiwan. A few years after that, who knows? There will be little that the US or anyone else can do to stop their aggression. Oh, and they aren't worried about terrorists because they will just kill them.
All of the above is just my opinion.
