The Clarke book could hurt. He is regarded as a respected non-partisan type.

White House Braces For Insider Books
Al Hunt says the White House "is nervous about two forthcoming books by former insiders. Ex-Bush Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill assails the president for a lack of interest in substantive policy in a book written by journalist Ron Suskind that will be trotted out with great fanfare on CBS's 60 Minutes this weekend."

"One Bush insider, however, ventures that no one really cares what a former Treasury secretary says. But, a book due out later by Richard Clarke, the White House's top terror expert under both President Clinton and President Bush, is another matter. Mr. Clarke is known to feel the Bush administration largely ignored the threat of terrorism and Osama bin Laden before 9-11, even after al Qaeda in June 2001 claimed responsibility for the bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 American soldiers."

find ways to get the societies where these Islamists come from to deter them first

This by you is an implementable approach? It's a cute talking point (Friedman is good at those). It doesn't even begin to list the carrots and sticks that might need to be used to get those societies - whose major problem is that they are politically immobile - to radically change their existing policies.
