DTIC ADA433476: When Devils Walk the Earth: The Mentality and Roots of Terrorism, and How to Respond

This analysis is divided into three parts. The first is a broad initial discussion of the mentalities of the two basic types of terrorists--the practical and the apocalyptic--to help users differentiate between traditional, politically-oriented terrorists with specific goals, and the far more dangerous religious terrorists irreconcilably hostile to the United States and the West. The second section examines the environmental conditions that breed terrorism, focusing primarily upon the troubled Islamic world. The concluding section proposes do's and don'ts in the struggle against terrorism.
