An outstanding analysis of what went wrong, how the current policies in Iraq are exacerbating our problems (and may do sufficient damage to the US in the long run to make our survival as a viable world power questionable, IMO), what we *should* have done, and what we must do promptly.
Now, I may like it because much of it agrees with what I've been saying all along, and it's nice to hear it from some experts, but I'll accept that and still recommend the book highly.

I will be short and succinct in this review. The authors contend in this book that U.S. military interventions are jeopardizing the war against radical Islamists. They describe terrorists' use of the Internet to spread their ideology, the role of Christian evangelism in foreign policy, and the influence of Muslims in America. The authors also share their opinion that there have been no more attacks in the U.S.A. because of the easier targets given to the terrorist in Iraq. But believes that an attack in the U.S.A. is just a matter of time.
