I find astonishing that someone who call himself a professor wrotes a non-sense like this: <<The worst effects of the Dark Age would be felt on the margins of the waning great powers. With ease, the terrorists could disrupt the freedom of the seas, targeting oil tankers and cruise liners while we concentrate our efforts on making airports secure. Meanwhile, limited nuclear wars could devastate numerous regions, beginning in Korea and Kashmir; perhaps ending catastrophically in the Middle East.>> It shows a total and absolute lack of understanding of what drives terrorrists. 1) It is sheer, unipolar and unchecked power that leaves the powerless to resort to terror. 2) It is ignorance and 4.000 year irrational outlook of Jewish people and 1500 yeatrs of irrational oputlook of Muslins that drives terror. Power waning is good and will diminish the terror threat. Power is not the solution of ignorance. Mr. Ferguson, professor of history at NYU
