Fareed, in his first half of the program, before the China trip of President Obama, had as guest:

Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former CIA agent who wrote “The Banality and Tenacity of Jihad.”  He speaks of the Globalization of Wahhabism and the effect that if you believe that violence is part of your relationship with the almighty, then you can do anything.

It is only true religious people that will have the power to stop this by declaring that killing is not the true Muslim religion.

Jihadis feel suffering for Muslims – but feel nothing for those that are not Muslim. True Muslims recognize that suffering of non-Muslims is also part of what the religion tells them not to do.

Zakaria showed excerpts of film taken by the Indian intelligence services of communications betwen the terrorists that attacked Bombay last Thanksgiving day – April 19, 2008. These people, simple young peasants,  were being directed to kill and eventually commit suicide, by their outside handler in Pakistan. The lone survivor told that his father turned him over to the gang in exchange for money that he needed to keep the rest of the family going. The poor young man, probably higly religious in his mind, was being told that his deeds are apreciated in the other world. The film will be shown on CNN Thursday November 19th.

Christiane Amanpour had as guests:

(a) Daniel Benjamin, the US Ambassador at Large on Terrorism (US Coordinator on Terrorism) who explained that the Jihadis, even Western educated, may  feel a culture humiliation that can also be economically. As such they feel self justification for their deeds. Al Qaeda started in the 60s, got strengthened in Afghanistan, Pakistan and gets now into Yemen, Somalia, East Africa.

(b) Thomas Hegghammer said that Al Qaeda is three different things.  (1) an ideological movement that can be any place,    (2) a franchise of regional organizations like Iraq, Yemen, Algeria,     and (3) a tightly core  organization in Pakistan’s tribal region.

(c) Karen Greenberg of NYU, the editor of Al Qaeda Now, of the Center for Law and Society.

From the tribal areas in Pakistan, Senior leaders have attempted from before 9/11 to hurt US organizations.

Christianne Amanpour mentioned the Kuwait made publicity of the 99 – figures like Jabbar the poweful and Nura the light who are positive characters  now fighting the Al-Qaeda for the minds of the young.

Next, Christiane Amanpour had Aaron David Miller who served several Presidents in their Middle East attempts and declared that the structural and fundamental problems made the search for a solution so evasive, and Amira Haas, the correspondent for the Israeli HAARETZ in what she defines as the occupied territories. She contends that Abbas and Netanyahu are both prisoners of their constituencies. she says that the two states solution is gone and that there was left just a one state solution with two sets of laws, infrastructure, education systems …etc. ..this is apartheid she said.

Miller did not agree with her and said that what she described was not a solution but a pathology. The four issues are: borders, security, Jerusalem and Refugees – these are the core issues – not the settlements. If one can do something about the four – there might not be such a serious settlements problem.

Haas said that the Palestinians made a big mistake under Arafat by declaring themselves a State rather then a liberation movement. they created by the declaration of a state a symmetry that does not exist and lost by doing so. Miller said that what she described was the power of the weak. Then he said that he found the people were ahead of the their leaders.
