Is the SQ of the train *pulled* by the DQ at the front, or is the DQ at the
front *pushed* by the SQ behind it?

Although I agree that the differences are adequately characterised as
religious (if one side thinks it's about religion, then it is, whether you
like it or not), it is surely possible to hope that the war doesn't become
that large-scale. Not sure what to base the hope on though.

"...the clash between us and them is not a military clash. Oh, no. It is a
cultural one, a religious one. And our military victories do not solve the
offensive of Islamic terrorism. On the contrary, they encourage it. They
exacerbate it, they multiply it. The worst is still to come."
