Great column by Anne Applebaum at the WPO: We need a smarter way to fight the jihadi elite. It reminds of what John O'Sullivan wrote in the National Review back on Nov. 5, 2001, almost two months after 9/11. Both point out that the leaders of terrorism and a great many of the practioners of terror are not poor downtrodden souls but in fact come from rich families and are highly educated. The terrorist leader may be able to recruit from the poor and the ignorant to provide fodder for their terror-cannons but terror isn't about poverty. It would be nice if the left would let go of that fallacy and face up to the fact that they are being outsmarted by the terrorists - not hard given that most chickens are smarter than your average liberal.
