In a tragic irony, Barbara Olson perished that morning in September 11, 2001. Even then, the future was cast upon the wall as an ominous shadow.
A future in which the threat of Islamic militancy would not only NOT be contained, and driven back, but taken in and EMBRACED as serious partners in the reformation of the entire world.
Herself regards the Islamic world, while troublesome at times, still only a managable threat, easily covered by simplle law enforcement means, with no need to deploy enormous resources to quell its presence at certain critical points in the world economy.
