#1 The author of this study is a professor of "Global Peace Studies." You think his findings may have been somewhat pre-determined by his anti-war beliefs?

Naw, that wouldn't be scholarly...

#4 If this jamoke thinks war with Iran will make things "far worse", then it must actually be the perfect course for getting things done.

"If the Al Qaeda movement is to be countered, then the roots of its support must be understood and systematically undercut,"

Quite. And what precisely do you believe those to be, Paul?

#5 Idiots like this also believe that a can of Raid is a provocation which creates more cockroaches.

#6 Well, TSfB9814, the Raid does leave more room for the remaining cockroaches to multiply, but jihadis don't grow that fast!

#7 So stupid only an academic could "believe"* it.

* I don't think they believe it, it just furthers their causes.

#8 Giving them too much credit, BP. It's not lofty causes, it's personal well being. If the academic environment rewarded conservatism the way it rewards leftism now, the overwhelming majority of academics would be "conservative".

#9 This guy sure likes to put the cart before the horse. A more cogent argument can be made for Al Qaeda fueling the war on terror. Estimates of more than 20,000 terrorists went through the AQ training camps in Afghanistan--another source of fuel for the terrorists' war on the West. Another source of fuel for terrorism is the Saudis funding terrorism through the madrassas and terror-related charities.
