Well the post that had links to books you should read was insightful.
By the way, Lawrence Wright and Steve Koll are widely acknowledged by CONSERVATIVES as some of the smartest minds on the topic.
I'd also recommend reading
The Devil We Know by Robert Baer about how to deal with Iran. He's another respected writer that the right likes to consult. He's a frequent guest on your buddy Glen Beck's show. I've also read his other books
Sleeping with the devil and
See No Evil wich was used as a basis for the movie Syriana.
In addition I've read
Crisis in Islam by Bernie Lewis giving me a greater understanding on the Muslim world.
Against All Enemies ,
Plan of Attack ,
The War Within all of which enlightened me as to how conservatives are liars and made our country less safe by invading Iraq.
But I also read books from conservatives like
Jonah Goldberg- Liberal Fascism as he tries to equate democrats with Nazi's. Unsuccessfully I might add. I just bought
Thomas Sowell but I haven't started it yet because I'm reading
Slash to mix it up.
You see unlike you or your little friend Boner, I have informed opinions based upon several hours of reading, debate, logic and thought.
