The murder of sixteen Chinese policemen by Islamist militants in western China, just five days before the Olympics start in Beijing (where security is being stepped up), highlights once again that complacency about worldwide Islamist terror is based more on wishful thinking than it is on observation and thoughtful analysis of what's actually going on in the world.

I think the dangers posed by terrorists are overstated in order to gain support for a bigger and badder state
Wonder if the Chinese will realise this problem is on their doorstep and stop using conflicts with Iraq, Iran and the DPRK (who are providing nuclear technology to Islamic states) to undermine the US/West? I won't count on it. But I expect them to be far more brutal than the Western powers in pursuing the Islamists.
