NYTIMES: Clinton Bluntly Presses Arab Leaders on Reform
The secretary of state told a conference in Qatar that the region needed economic reform to keep extremism at bay.
NONSENSE.
BAD ECONOMICS DOESN'T CREATE ISLAMISM; THE KORAN DOES.
THE 9/11 ATTACKERS AND THE CHRISTMAS BOMBER AND THE LONDON BOMBERS AND THE STOCKHOLM BOMBER WERE ALL MIDDLE CLASS.
THIS COMMENT IS AS DUMB AS HILLARY'S COMMENT ABOUT LOUGHNER - WHEN SHE CALLED HIM A POLITICAL EXTREMIST.
LOUGHNER WAS NOT MOTIVATED BY POLITICS. AND THE ISLAMISTS AREN'T MOTIVATED BY ECONOMICS.
THESE ARE STUPID COMMENTS, AND IF WE BASE POLICY AND TACTICS AND STRATEGY ON THEM THEN WE WILL FAIL.

Exactly.
What do these idiots spouting such nonsense have for brains? Um, never mind.
Maybe if Saudi and the Gulf states weren't as rich (iow, if their economies tanked) funding for Islamists would dry up :)
Reforming their economies to be more like the US or EU would help bring that about.
Probably not what Clinton had in mind of course, when she made that remark.
