Summary: a courageous look at our world
Comment: I generally do not write reviews, but I decided to do it because Loretta Napoleoni book is one of the fews I have read recently which offer a global explanation of what is happening. I know the Middle East well and can say that her facts are accurate. She also writes beatifully, I could not put down the book.
i reccomend this book to those who want to find answers to the many questions of our complex world.

Summary: Maze of less than amazing facts
Comment: There are better books written on this subject. Impossible to the see the forest through the trees. She tries to show how to fight terrorism with economics, but all she shows is that she knows nothing of how the world works.
In order for her theories to work, all crime must stop. All smuggaling must stop. Everyone in the world needs to be nice to each other basically. And when everyone is nice, bad guys like al queda will not have any friends and will not be able to operate. She proposed this because she doesn't like war. War is bad. So even with Al Queda we need find no violent means to fight them back.
This doesn't make sense. A multipronged targeted approach is required. Get as many of them off the street as possible, dry up there direct funding, stop hard line islamic schools from teaching jiahd. We only have so many resources, and obviously we don't have the means to solves all the worlds problems so that terrorists have no sources of money. Her indirect approach is misguided and feeble. Nice guys finish last.

Summary: Antiwar Agenda
Comment: One purpose for this book. Provide as much evidence as possible to support Loretta's antiwar views. The book is a mess in its details. Her 1.4 trillion dollar criminal economy is bogus and not substantiated by government organizations or other researchers.
She doesn't feel wars are necessary in Iraq and Afghanistan. We should wage an economic war on Al Queda. Woo Hoo. That makes great sense. While Al Queda runs airplanes into buildings, she is going to try and make the world a nice place and simply cut off your funds. Get real.
While an economic war as a tool with other tools makes sense, that is not what she argues or wants. And she exagerates the facts in a way no different from George Bush exagerating the WMD in Iraq that she thinks was wrong(as most do). Except two wrongs don't make a right.
Poor exectution of a bad plan. Bad writing. Bad hypothesis. Exagerations.
