#1 I don't give a damn about winning the "hearts and minds" of Muslim communities in that region or anyplace else. Those raghead bastards need to learn that THEY need to be worried about "shock and awe" sending them and their ilk back to Allan early if they start some crap.

#2 he's a smart guy. I don't know Dan, seems to me like he's infected with the PC brain rot to me.

"For example, the US should spearhead international efforts to assist poorer Southeast Asian countries in providing programs aimed in alleviating poverty and unemployment. Implementing such polices would no doubt reduce discontent among disgruntled communities and undercut the appeal of the terroristâs ideology.

There is absolutely no evidence to show that this is what fuels terrorism. Funding the madrassas to spew hate, yes. Combating poverty - no.

#3 Agreed 2b most cell leaders and in some cases homicide bombers are well educated and from the societies elite. There is a fundamental issue with Islam - ie apparently the religon does not come out explicitly in denouncing murder and suicide like say ... Christianity.

#4 I used to fall for the old argument of it's because they're not educated or well off financially. But after 9/11, I've seen the opposite. The jihadis who go to their death and actually carry out binny's/Paleo's wishes are of two types: (1) well educated (especially in their religion) and well off (see the 19 9/11 hijackers), or (2) ordinary people who've been shamed into committing suicide (see the women who've been caught in adultry blowing up Joooos. Recently, a third type's been added...the mentally retarded (see the autistic boy the jihadis sent to kill those in line to vote in Iraq on Jan. 30). NONE of these have to do with their financial situation (and in the case of #1, is actually counter to the "poor/opressed" argument). I'd also say that while some exceptions to the educated argument might exist, I'd say the one thing they're all educated in is their DEATH CULT.

#5 "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute."

No rewards.
