A quick Google search turned up this Time story that demonstrates that jihadists are romantics. <br /><br />http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1720049_1720050_1722062,00.html<br /><br />Yeah?

I have major problems with a lot of his conclusions, as everyone seems to. But at least he's asking the right questions and thinking systematically rather than just freaking out. I'd much rather debate the merits and demerits of Pape in the NYTimes than bear another op-ed by one of the Kagans. <br /><br />Right?Kindred Winecoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330671232391851377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331441403058020963.post-65565134082720906362010-01-28T23:40:41.716-05:002010-01-28T23:40:41.716-05:00I raise you one John Horgan.
