Extracted from Philip Stephens OpEd piece in todays FT (subscription required);
�Hard power is needed to deal with those who have already turned to murder. But soft power is essential to prevent fresh recruits to murder . . . No steps could do more to outwit today's terrorists than serious efforts to establish in Chechnya, Palestine and Iraq governments which are supported, or at least accepted by, the bulk of the population.�
(with apolgies to FT - too important to miss)
