Here is a fact: The tenured professors, the Middle East Studies department being lavished with cash, the high paid consultants, 95% of them are revealed as false prophets. None of their predictions hold true, their insights into what motivates the Middle East are nothing more than hot air, and they add nothing to the world's understanding of itself. In short their advice is worth less than a bucket of warm spit. Krauthammer today: The Middle East experts, who a decade ago made identical warnings that war on Iraq would cause the Arab world to rise against us, don't get it. They never do. Indeed, with the war on terrorism poised to expand beyond Afghanistan, the experts are already repeating these dire -- and false -- predictions. In a prescient lecture Oct. 20, Middle East Quarterly editor Martin Kramer (who has just published "Ivory Towers on Sand," a devastating critique of the illusions and biases advanced by the Middle East studies programs throughout American academia) explained why: The way to tame the Arab street is not with appeasement and sweet sensitivity but with raw power and victory. washingtonpost.com
