14 Terrorism, Iraq and Cultural Imperialism

In this Sanctuary discussion between Oliver Sharpe, Tom Beament and myself, the focus is on political topics (this time). I point out that it's not really extremism and suicide bombing that we should fear, but our own leaders. Oli advocates a restricted form of cultural imperialism. Tom sets me straight on my implausible views on what constitutes coercion. Plus two news stories from this week that you might not have heard: An Al Qaeda operative is in the Iraqi government, and the mayor of Baghdad has been overthrown by a Shiite militia in a bloodless coup.
