Today on NPR, Dina Temple-Raston has an interesting story entitled “As Support Fades, Al-Qaida Shows Signs of Decline” she focuses on how terrorist groups can end, or at least how their efforts can oftentimes be counterproductive.  In the story Professor Audrey Cronin of NDU and I are both quoted.   What’s interesting about [...]
