So the fact that Osama bin Laden got a Western education doesn't mean anything to anybody?? With the exception of bin Laden himself, these guys aren't religious, fundamentalist nuts. If they were, then they wouldn't be hanging out at strip clubs, keeping stashes of porn on their computers, drinking alcohol, dancing with women, and all of the other things that radical Islamists speak out against. These guys are hard-line political activists looking to destroy the West and get them the hell out of the Holy Land. I agree with you that cutting off the funding to the Madrassas will help out a lot because a good deal of the lesson plans in those schools are based on how to hate the West and the local contact points for the local al Qaeda cells. However, to support a paper from the Dean camp which states "oh, it won't happen again" is to invite another attack on the grand scale of terrorism. While I agree with some of your points here, I think you're slightly misguided in the fact that a strong response to terror whenever it happens is always need, because, as we learned throughout the entire Clinton Administration, letting terrorist attacks go unchecked is simply inviting more and more attacks.
Oh, and just to clarify to people, the article is about Niger, not Nigeria, two completely different countries there, that's just been bugging me since people have been referring to Nigeria.
