His knowledge to the motivation and mentality may be good, but one has to question his strategic conclusions - especially with regards to terrorist use of WMD. Organized terror organizations are spending so much time and effort trying to acquire a viable weapon plus an effective delivery means that I find it hard to believe that there is any circumstance where they would not attempt to use one if it were available. Also, localized "insurgency" has a strong parallel to gang recruitment and violence in our own cities. Some folks keep missing that "suicide" operatives tend to be basically kids. Islam is definitely a factor. In Compton, you do a drive by to prove your loyalty and allegiance to the gang. But, the mark of honor is to do your time if you get caught. In Fallujah, you have a operative factor of supposedly older and wiser people that know how to manipulate by clerical means. The kids are more cranked up by their 15 minutes of fame. False ideology.
The suicide bombers are not the problem. They are recruited and exist because the brain trust behind them do not have the technology for anything better. Circa WW2 and the Kamikazi mindset. One has to go after the head of the serpent, and that is the "word". Therein, is an automatic problem. Because of our fanaticism over the first ammendment, even with directed informational campaigns we tend to allow radical voices in the name of freedoms.
I don't know that we can overcome that, in that environment, but we aren't doing a lot to help ourselves.
