The most hopeful insight of this program which was significant came from Robert Pape who had studied terrorist attacks in Arabia.
For over five years prior to 9/11, Mr. Pape examined not the attacks of suicide bombers but the bombers themselves. Quite contrary to the focus of this program, namely 'Radical Islamic Terrorists' the truth of the suicide bomber phenomina is that these men are not fundamentalists. They are however Sunni Muslims who really mind the precense of the USA on the Arabian Peninsula and other foreign countries where Muslims are majority.
What Mr. Pape pointed to was the fact there was once a program whereby the USA did not maintain a military presence in Islam to obtain oil. It was a grossly successful program.
WHAT ARE WE ALLOWING THIS ADMINISTRATION PERMISSION TO DO TO US by allowing our miliary to assault Arabia? What are we doing to our energy supply? Where are the alternatives?
Ms. Bigot didn't like the statement and quickly shifted to another guest by the name of Daniel Goure who stated the only way to defeat terrorists was to deprive their financial network and to close the USA borders.
If CNN's NewsNight is to believe their own guests then they need to advocate for a different focus in the USA and the withdrawal from Iraq.
That should not be difficult as today there was movement by the Iraqi Defense Minister approaching Iran for assistant in training it's military and police. The Iranians seem eager to help. That removes the USA to other areas and out of Islam.
The only open issues with this new alliance remains the peace with Islam and Israel.
