After the Saudi Mullah's back off their zeal, I'm concerned that our remaining in-house cells might grow depressed and try to lead the rebirth of fanatacism by a particularly nasty symbolic immolation. I guess my point about curtailing the incitement to riot rhetoric at home is that every one of these guys that really internalizes this tripe is a loose cannon. I'm not sure waiting for the movement to wither is all that safe.
I can't remember who all I was corresponding with when I last brought this angle up, but I feel that the reason the death cult is so attractive is the sexual repression/release aspect of suiciding. These guys are not affected by long term exposure to friendly, decadent ,Westerners. They are innoculated against deprogramming in their little terror primer. Messages of moderation from the homeland may not connect through their lust fueled frenzy to get to Paradise and shuffle off the mortal coil.
As you know, I'm uncertain that we're committed to winning it "over there".
If you're referring to an inclusive "we" that embraces the liberal press...I'm certain "we're" NOT! based on watching the Lehrer hour a while ago...Those PBS talking heads can really suck the air out of room.
