Here's one which is timely:

The sociology and psychology of terrorism: Who becomes a terrorist and why? (A must read)

Exceprt

Environments conducive to the rise of terrorism include international and national environments, as well as subnational ones such as universities, where many terrorists first become familiar with Marxist-Leninist ideology or other revolutionary ideas and get involved with radical groups. Russell and Miller identify universities as the major recruiting ground for terrorists...

The physiological approach to terrorism suggests that the role of the media in promoting the spread of terrorism cannot be ignored in any discussion of the causes of terrorism...

Moreover, in Guttman's analysis, the terrorist requires a liberal rather than a right-wing audience for success. Liberals make the terrorist respectable by accepting the ideology that the terrorist alleges informs his or her acts. The terrorist also requires liberal control of the media for the transmission of his or her ideology...

GEORGE W. BUSH

If I did the math correctly, every day Hussein is allowed to remain alive and in power, 117 Iraqis die.

[dufekin]

Gruesome as it is, that sounds too benign for the megalomaniac genocidical terrorist military dictator. Probably the estimates of the extent of Saddam's killings are low. And remember this--they don't include those who live to tell about the atrocities to which they are subjected.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

BUMP

These men, masked and clad in black, make the women kneel in busy city squares, along crowded sidewalks, or in neighborhood plots, then behead them with swords.

[doug from upland]

Wait, do you mean that Bush is not worse than Hussein or Hitler?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I've been monitoring Peter Jennings tonight, and he talked about the "violence in Bagdad today."

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I just e-mailed this article to a liberal professor my sister-in-law has to put up with. He spends most of the class time talking against Bush and the war.

[DuncanWaring]

...every day Hussein is allowed to remain alive and in power, 117 Iraqis die

I was wondering about that.

Thanks for saving me the arithmetic.

[doug from upland]

Excellent, but he probably won't read it.

[Intolerant in NJ]

... the number of those who have "disappeared" into the hands of the secret police, never to be heard from again, could be 200,000...estimates like this are what make the claims of peacnik types that "innocent men, women, and children will be killed in this war" so laughable - innocent men, women, and children have been killed daily in Iraq for years, and will continue to be so as long as Saddam is in power - what kind of calculus says that losing a relatively few in war now is not a chance worth taking against the probability of saving tens of thousands in the future.....
