I thought this quote was interesting: "The solution says Naji is to provoke a superpower into invading the Middle East directly."

This war was not provoked as far as I can see. The Bush administration bent over backwards to get permission to invade Iraq. They WANTED this. They didn't need any provocation at all.

Considering 9/11 was used ad nauseum as a rallying cry for us to go to war, and all the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi's, it would seem as though if anyone was provoking us it was Saudi Arabia.

Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
