Peak Terrorist Theory

The central tenant of the "peak oil" theory is once we reach the point where all the known oil reserves are discovered, we will see the oil supply steadily decrease, causing demand to steadily increase, driving prices through the roof and hence destroying the global economy.

I have a theory with similar logic, but I call it the peak terrorist theory. My theory is that as we capture and kill more terrorists, it will lead to the rounding up of their cohorts and company, as we are seeing in the past couple days in Iraq.

As it becomes clear that the terrorists are being rounded up, we will see more of them turning on each other, more people previously scared of turning them in or sympathetic to their cause, will have more and more reason to turn on them. The financiers will see terrorism as a losing bet, and some will even get ratted out by their employees. The media will stop paying attention to their statements, as they are unable to mount attacks, always being on the run. They will become easier and easier to locate as no one will hide them. And then, VERY quickly, after a seemingly long, drawn out battle, Islamic Terrorists will vanish or become as relevant as the KKK is in our current society....and that is to say, not relevant at all.
