Here is one of the most cogent descriptions I have read of the problem that faces us

I am really not a fan of the Guardian in general. However, I was struck by this editorial. But I think this is a precise description of the roots of the the terror network that the West is facing. It is also clearly describes that we seem to be dealing with the wrong country when we invaded Iraq. Not that this should be a surprise to anyone. But it is refreshing to see it laid out this clearly.
