I must appreciate author, for presenting the, the biggest threat of our times.....the Terrorism in comprehensive manner. There will be many noises around the world,against the US and its allies, but certainly, they are right in their approach to eradicate the evil from its root though use of force. The use of force along with efforts towards reducing the inequity among masses seems to be the best strategy.
Another interesting point,that has been made regarding the second/third generation educated youngsters(mostly muslims) resorting to Terrorism. This counters the popular myth of remedial measures like poverty eradication, education.
The thrill/valor gene may be culprit behind the terrorists mind, who may be sick of oppression of humanity in incresingly liberised world.
