Prashant, you are optimistic
Reader comment on item: Kenneth N. Waltz – The Stupidest Strategist?
in response to reader comment: Truth is a very difficult commodity to protect
Submitted by steveN (United States), Jun 23, 2012 at 21:39
I wish I could share your optimism about the future and Muslim education. The fact is that we have seen plenty of educated terrorists carry out heinous crimes. Education is not enough to save us from these ideologue fanatics. When you can stop the madrassas and the mosques from teaching Jihad and hate for the West, then we can see something.
