Excellent Wright article. And this point:

>>The problem with our policies in the Middle East is that we have gained friends among the governments and lost them among the people. And the war on terror has unfortunately been seized upon by regimes all over the world to suppress dissident political movements - some of which may have genuine and authentic needs. I think that the real danger we are facing in the war on terror lies in being unsophisticated and unsympathetic toward the political aspirations of people who are really struggling in countries that have shut down democratic outlets.<<

... is one that has me very concerned, yet that's the first time I've seen it addressed publicly in a major publication. Bravo to Wright for bringing it forth!
