Richard Perle, top adviser to the deserter-in-chief, says in UPI article

      http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/11/20/202218.shtml

that the US should pressure Egypt to suppress the free speech of its Muslim preachers because

      "Those prayers are a direct threat to the American people."

He laments that

      "our normal predisposition is not to be at war. The moment the
       sense of danger is passed a democracy tends to relax"

If that sense of danger were allowed to wither, it could become more
difficult for Dick Cheney's empire to conquer Iraq's oil fields.
The article's author reports --

      "Following the pattern set in Afghanistan, Perle advocated
       strengthening internal resistance to Saddam Hussein by
       funding, equipping and training the Kurdish factions in
       the north and the Shi'a in the south. If they are able to
       seize those areas, they will also have control of the
       majority of Iraq's oil fields, cutting Saddam Hussein off
       from his primary source of funding."
