Articles on International Terrorism and Counter-Insurgency.

In the last couple of weeks the American Conservative, and War Nerd have came up with two excellent commentaries on issues relating to terrorism and counter-insurgency.

The 'Rich Get Richer', by American Conservative writer James Kurth, is a top-notch peice of commentary, of a similar standard to the first American Conservative article to grab my attention, Robert Locke's 'Marxism of the Right' ( a critique of libertarianism).

War Nerd mixes dry humour with vigorous common sense and lateral thinking in his latest blog entry - 'Afghanistan, Let Them 'Em Ham'. As a supporter of the war in Afghanistan, who is disappointed with the way things are going, I can strongly relate to his comment - 'I didn't believe we could possibly be so stupid as to blow the one thing we did right'.
