Taking a break from the vainglorious enterprise that is this blog, I want to recommend a book that I have recently been reading, titled America’s Secret War. It details the rise of Al Queda, but, more importantly, presents a very compelling view of why the United States is at war in Iraq today, and the actions that precipitated the rise of the Taliban and AQ.
Agree or disagree with the war, but I agree with the author that the people involved on either side are not fools, and thus, there is a rationale for the actions of the protagonists. Read it and tell me what you think.
