If Islamism is to be eradicated, it will have to be done by Muslims When is this supposed to start?

Good read...well written. I have three texts I would like to recommend to students of the war at hand, and I'd like to use your fine post to promote them (not that I receive any benefit, other than that bestowed by sharing.)
Billings, Malcom.The Cross and the CrescentSterling Publishing co., New York, 1990.
Grau, Lester W., ed. The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics in Afghanistan National Defense University Press, Washington D.C., 1996.

Thanks for the analysis. I've bookmarked this to read tomorrow.

No flames. I see OBL, the Talibans and the Al Quaida as the last desperate go for broke gamble of islam.
Sort of like the Sioux "Ghost Dancers" of 1890, or the Nazis' final run for the coast in the Battle of the Bulge.
Fundamentalist radical islamists know that they are losing their youth to Western culture. They are now attempting to smash and destroy that Western culture before it is able to complete the seduction of their next generations.
This is a classic example of "Strategic Over Reach", Napoleon in Moscow, the Germans at Stalingrad. The islamists may succeed in wrecking our developed ecomomies for a while, but while the cutoff in trade and travel will be painful to the West, it will be fatal to the islamic nations. They cannot eat petroleum.
I think that this episode will bring the end of the recent expansionist phase of islamism, which will be marginalized and on the retreat for centuries after their nations emerge from starvation, civil war, and economic depression.
