#1 Orson Scott Card is one of those rare people who is willing to harshly criticize his own beliefs (see the epilogue to Children of the Mind). With that in mind, I'd have to say it's highly probable that his assessment is dead-on.

#2 I think this is the guy who wrote "Ender's Game", if so it was required reading for us Marines in Quantico. Pretty good book.

#3 Good article - I had never looked past the communist revolutions to see the anarchists. There are some uncanny simularities, but I think Card goes too far in discounting the amount of terror that alone anarchist can cause. The Beltway Snipers, the Unabomber and the Anthrax Mailer all damaged some sizeable chunks of economy (not the Unabomber really.) A lot of the hackers and virus producers have also caused considerable chaos.
