OT:

So, what you're saying, is that our enemy is just a small group of violent fanatics, with no mass appeal?

That's what the Shah said about Khomeini in the 1970s.
That's what we said about Ho Chi Minh in the 1960s.
That's what the Nationalist Chinese said about Mao in the 1930s.
That's what King George said about George Washington in 1775.

I'm not making a comment on their ideologies. I'm making the comment, that those in power frequently make the mistake of underestimating the appeal of insurgencies. Never underestimate your opponent.
