It’s Not All About Us

Michael Totten writes about who we are at war with, and who they are at war with:

The overwhelming majority of Islamist killers aren’t terrorists. They are soldiers and members of state-sanctioned death squads. Most victims of Islamists violence aren’t Westerners…they’re the Islamists’ fellow Muslims. It’s easy to forget this — or not even be aware of it — if you aren’t interested in what happens inside the Muslim world when George W. Bush, Tony Blair, and the rest in the West aren’t involved.
