Benefits and Costs of the U.S. Government’s War Making

Las Vegas Review-Journal
I think it is telling that the various Islamic groups are assuming that it is another Islamic group that attacked these "radicals" and not some Western intelligence (or religious) group - because it is well-known that Western religions do not do things like this nearly as commonly as Islamic groups fight between each other - this would be the equivalent of a team of LDS missionaries bombing a mission meeting of Southern Baptists - something kinda hard to picture.
