Holy, mackerel! What a great article. Long, but very strong analysis of the long term battle. This man really hits this so well. I'm not only bookmarking this, but printing three copies now for two peaceniks and a warmonger I know I'll be seeing today.

I do suggest pinging friends who care to this article. Cong.BB, you may find this a good addition for your own continuing analysis.

Thanks for the ping. This is an excellent article, and makes a good explanation of the culture problem (as opposed to the problem of Islam) which I also think is the reason for the hatred we receive from the Arab world.

It also explains why countries that are more secular (Turkey, for example) do better than those who are fundamentalist.

Very interesting analysis. It's more than close enough for government work.
