...None of Sageman's solutions are new, nor are they achievable soon. The problems of Palestine and Iraq are of mind-numbing complexity, and as for depriving al-Qaeda of publicity, many would argue that successful prosecution of the war on terror actually makes visible battles and results necessary. But it isn't a forensic psychiatrist's job to come up with counterterrorist strategy. It is their job to offer a cogent alternative to the "Why do they hate us?" hand-wringing that dominates much writing about the terrorist mind-set, and Sageman has done that with great clarity...
