#1 "How long will it take al Qaeda and Hamas to travel the same journey?"

Never. Duh.

#2 Article: Fred Halliday, a human rights professor at the London School of Economics, said the end of the Cold War undermined virtually all of Europe's paramilitary movements; the IRA, for instance, received Warsaw Pact weaponry through Libya and claimed to be fighting to create a socialist republic. ... He said it was inevitable that, someday, the West would end up negotiating with the political descendants of both forces.

This is the kind of thing I would expect to hear from a professor at the London School of ~~Marxist~~ Economics. Doesn't seem to have occurred to him that al Qaeda's mass murder of more people in one day than the IRA killed in 27 years might be a barrier to negotiation. This is the kind of thing you would expect from a Communist; paraphrasing Stalin, a single death is a tragedy, but 3,000 deaths merely a statistic.
