520    After the 9/11 Commission concluded in 2004 that the U.S. 
       was engaged in a war with terrorists and never realized it,
       they reasoned that "a failure of imagination" had 
       prevented us from seeing it coming. But after billions of 
       dollars and almost a decade of fighting in the Middle East,
       will we miss the boat again? Walid Phares, Fox News 
       terrorism and Middle East expert and a specialist in 
       global strategies, argues that a race for control of the 
       Middle East is on. Yet not a failure of imagination, but 
       rather, of education has left Americans without essential 
       information on the real roots of the rising threat. In 
       fact, the West ignores the wide and disparate forces 
       within the Muslim world--including a brotherhood against 
       democracy that is fighting to bring the region under 
       totalitarian control--and crucially underestimates the 
       determined generation of youth feverishly waging a 
       grassroots revolution toward democracy and human rights.--
