Steve, I'm the resident sock puppet on these boards. Certain members just pull the strings on certain threads, and I respond instaneously, no act of free will on my part necessary.
Ron: I don't listen to Paul Harvey anymore, or his son. Back in the day he was great to listen to, but nowadays his show has just gotten strange at times.
JJackson:
I too rather wonder about that. That said, how independent or autonomous of tribal sheiks or other local leadership are these small groups, or at least how susceptible/vulnerable to persuasion/coercion are they? If these minor groups are or can be brought under the more or less sway of tribal or other local leaders, then perhaps the Hydra can be restrained, sort of, depending of course upon the circumstances of said leaders. Especially with regards to their access to, or at least freedom from, centralized political power.
