An Article that gives an Amazing Insight into Radical Islamism, its Western Coddlers and its Cures
B. Rubin, 10-Dec-09.
This is perhaps the best newspaper article I've ever read on the phenomenon of radical Islamists in Europe, written from the point of view of those who have left the movement and now discuss how they felt and what they did. Well worth reading. It is by Johann Hari and entitled, "Renouncing Islamism: To the brink and back again."

Hamid Karzai: "The war in Afghanistan is not a war of choice, but a war of necessity"
It is a pleasure and honour to be addressing this distinguished forum on world security. Thank you Ambassador Ischinger for inviting me to this year's forum to share the view from Afghanistan. This year, Afghanistan has entered a new phase of partnership with the international community in our joint struggle against terrorism and in building a stable, democratic and economically self-reliant country. I appreciate the opportunity today to discuss this new phase of partnership at this forum.
