LAT on Al Qaeda

The LAT, in an editorial today, calls President Bush's message on Al Qaeda "tendentious trope." "Don't believe Bush, believe us," is the editorial's message. Jihadist are like cockroaches, the LAT argues. Killing a few hundred or a few thousand won't matter. Until an American president focuses on the root causes of jihadism and removes them, nothing will change. Until then, we may as well give up, the LAT seems to say.
