A Young American being held hostage. True or not, the aid worker has become the latest tool of isis propaganda. Is it winning the war or losing it . Then escalations in ukraine. The death toll has ticked to over 5,000. Is allout war in the offing or is a peace plan possible . Also ill tell you the best thing in president obamas budget proposal. Something that would likely make money for taxpayers. And finally, all over the world, leaders now wear a pretty standard dress, almost a uniform, except for one guy. Will he conform . But first here is my take. Once again an isis murder leads to fear it is winning and thoughts to do more. Pretty bear captured the mood like this. Hovistic barbaric as well as calculating and skilled at hightech propaganda. The general feeling is that isis is gaining ground with its diabolical methods. But is it really . The video of the pilots killing was slickly produced but it might have been a fancy cover to mask an operation that had gone awry. Remember it began as a moneymaking scheme to get a ransom for japanese hostages, then turned into a hostage swap for a forgotten failed suicide bomber and finally ended with the emulation of the jordanian pilot. Certainly it could not know the reactions in the middle east with jarredordanians against it clerics condemning and more aid against it. Meanwhile news on the battlefield has not been good for isis. Brooklyn scholar describes stunning reversal in iraq. The Washington Post reported on the growing discontent within its territories. All this might help explain the brutality of the latest murder video. The group well understands that the primary purpose of terrorism is to induce fear and overreaction. When first on the scene in the 60s and 70s, historian wrote in Foreign Affairs the best guide to this fen on mom. Provided two tactics of terror that worked and have important lessons. He recount add meeting in 1945 with the leader of a group of about 1,000500 jewish militants in palestine, which was then part of the british empire. They knew that they could not defeat the mighty british army so they decided to proceed up buildings and create the appearance of chaos. This the urban leader said would lead british to overreact, garrison the country, forces from across the empire and that would strain british coffers and eventually london would have to lead palestine. Franken noted seeing it was to small to defeat Great Britain decided as an alternative approach that britain was big enough to defeat itself. Isis strategy is surely some version of this. The targeting of america and its allies. The video, barberism all designed to draw into battle in syria with the hopes this bloody war would sap strength. Frommekin offered another, national front, group trying to break algeria free from france in the 1960s. Argued was not a colony but part of france with all of its citizens treated as french men and women. So the fln began a campaign of terror in order to proceed voek an overreaction from the french government getting them to regard all muslim algerians aspects. Quote, the french thought when fln plant add bomb in a public bus it was in order to proceed up the bus frommekin noted. But flns true aim was to lure authorities into reacting by arresting all the noneuropeans in the area aspects. The many recent acts of terror committed in europe can be said to cant be said to have a strategy but auto they could make european governments and people treat all muslims in europe as suspicious and dangerous, and then the terrorists will have achieved an important goal. Now, these things do not have to happen. Frommekin concluded his essay by noting that though terrorism canals be prevented, it can always be defeated. You can always refuse to do what they want you to do. For more go to cnn. Com fareed and read my Washington Post column this week. Lets get started. Youve heard my take. Lets dig deeper into the latest news about the jordanian airstrikes arab reaction and more. Joining me from washington, d. C. Is marwan washer former deputy Prime Minister of jordan and Vice President for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace. In paris we have teaches studies at the school of economics. Here in new york an israeli arab journalist who worked as an anchorwoman in both egypt and italy. Thank you all. Let me start with you. Youve seen jordanian pilot emulation, reaction to it what is the state of isis after all this this. Isis savagery should not blind us to the fact isis is selfdestructive. Isis is strangling itself. Isis is pitting itself against must lumm mainstream Public Opinion and arab Public Opinion. There is really shock and outrage throughout the arab and muslim world. I would argue that isis is digging its own grave. The reality is this is where you want isis to be. You want it to be pitted against arab and muslim Public Opinion. This is how isis should be defeated from within by arab and muslim Public Opinion. Even if you defeat isis militarily you have to deconstruct ideology. The debate in the United States its all about westerners and it should be but isis represents a fundamental challenge to arab and muslim societies not to american and western societies. Marwan when you listen to this do you think that this these events of the last week have made it easier for the jordanian government to be more aggressive. Will we see a change not just in jordan but other countries . Certainly is unprecedented for sometime. If they wanted to galvanize public support against the government they miserably failed to do so. I agree that what they have shown is true colors. No sane human being, let alone muslim would accept somebody to be burned alive and filmed on tv. This has given government a strengthened hand in dealing with isis militarily. I would argue that in addition to military strike we badly need today intellectual leaders to start openly and proactively talking about a plueralistic society, diverse society, inclusionist society because that is the only way you can defeat isis in addition to, you know the military campaign. When you hear marwan say that paint a positive vision more plueralistic more open you wrote a terrific piece pointed out while we are battling isis we are also strongly supporting somebody like president cici because he fights trochl but does not represent pluralism. Hes been jailing people left right, and center. I think, fareed, youre right about this. We need to think beyond terror and tyrant. Moderate inclusion will open the door for them to be with extreme ises. When you see cici and others before him autocrat as answer to deterrent you have to think the same regime who gave you political islam, caught up in the 60s. Iman zawahiri is a product of the regime. Lets remember the man who built al qaeda in iraq a jordanian man, who fought shiites in iraq but also sent people to blow up themselves in jordan nine years ago. We need to decimate extremists. Extremists is not only isis but al qaeda, el nasr front. How do you dry up this . We need consensus and inclusion also need this war from shiites to end. We need to come to terms and reach some kind of agreement that end up these extremists. We need to come facetoface with this fact from now on if we want stability and prosperity in the arab world, we have a responsibility to push more more inclusion in purelistic and diverse societies. That hits at the core of what isis is saying. Isis predecessor zawahiri were defeated in 2007 in iraq only to come back because we only dealt with the military aspect and forts to look at the political and sornl as well. Turn around, barry sornl as well. Osornl as well. Cisornl as well. Asornl as well. Lsornl as well. Sornl as well. As well. [ female announcer ] fiber one.

Very simple recap, the president said we shouldnt get on our high horse when we think about islam and terrorism. There were a lot of bad things done in the name of christianity slavery sometimes justified that way. Youre a scholar of the middle east but also a christian. I wondered how this whole issue struck you . Fareed obama got it right. Isis are the crusaders, todays crusaders. They are slaughtering in the name of religion. They have a twisted interpretation of faith. Crusaders killed not only jews but christians. Isis will keep focusing on the few western victims. Remember the overwhelming number of victims of muslims. Not just even minority shiites, christians. Isis has slaughtered thousands of sunni citizens and iraquis. But the question is the crusaders and isis, the reality is isis has to be deconstructed. These twisted interpretations of the faith must be faced head on and only arabs and muslims can deconstruct this particular twisted interpretation of the faith. The reality is this is an internal lwara civil war within the islamic world. This is not about islam and the west this is about the identity of the state in the muslim world and islamist world is raging in multiple places syria, iraq yemen and other places as well. Rula you wrote a piece you talked about how europe has a lot to learn from the United States in dealing with this phenomenon of radical islamism. You were a journalist for years. Explain what you mean. Very simple the reaction to extremism, whether its al qaeda, isis and others triggered in us its designed to induce fear and designed to push for overreaction. So theres two things i think we learn after 13 years of war on terror. One, that invasions, western invasions alone did not work. So less invasions, i said and more integration. You have 20 million muslims living in europe today. Europes muslim citizens for a sense of belonging and that makes them an easy target for radicalization. Also if i may, fareed we need to address the ideology of saudi arabia. We cant with partners fighting with us while they are spreading their ideology that al qaeda and isis share. Thats why in raqqah the headquarter of isis they are distributing textbooks that are saudi textbooks. They share the same ideology. We need to address that issue. Political reform and economic reform. Marwan what about that. Fauaz gerges says this hab to be an arab debate and arabs have to push this ideology. As rula points out you still have reactionary interpretations of islam, very puritanical interpretations they have exported. Is that changing when you look at its one thing to oppose jihadi terrorist groups are they taking on very puritanical reactionary views of their religion which exclude nonbelievers which exclude foreigners and in a sense encourage a certain kind of militants. We have two human being wakeup calls. One the arab uprising brought by a sense because people were marginalized excluded not participants in part of the decisionmaking process. Two, isis barbaric ideology that is trying to speak on behalf of arabs and muslims when it has nothing to do with them. These are huge wakeup calls that we all need to, you know both governments and the general public need to internalize the lessons from. Any time we talk exclusionist policies this is going to be the result. And the arab world does have a responsibility. We cannot escape the fact and we cannot not acknowledge that from now on building a stable and permanently stable and prosperous arab society is going to take a lot more than military strikes. And just because it takes a lot more time does not mean we cannot and shouldnt start now. That is the lesson that i hope the arab world is going to internalize. Is it being internalized . Im afraid with the exception of tunisia, we have not seen any signs of that yet. On that sober note Marwan Muasher thank you very much.

But whatever you think of most of it theres one proposal in there that is important, even urgent preschool education for every fouryearold in america from poor and moderate income family. Why . Preschool is the crucial time to have an impact on a childs development a National Research notes, from the time of conception to the first day of kindergarten a persons Development Proceeds at a pace exceeding that of any subsequent stage of life. Before age six, the brain roughly quadruples in weight according to a study by the university of manchester and reaches about 90 of its adult size. 700 new neural connections are formed every second in the first years of life according to experts at harvard who also point out that the brain is most flexible early in life and that its capacity for change decreasing with age. Unfortunately, the u. S. Is way behind other countries when it comes to educating our youngest brains. Only 38 of american three years old are enrolled in some kind of preschool according to oecd ranks United States 32 in the study trailing nations like chill, and colombia. France and belgium enroll nearly all their three years old. American four years old dont fare better 46 compared to the average of 84 . That ranks 32nd out of 39. Meanwhile china is educating children for three whole years before Primary School the government says and growing their preschools at a blistering pace. In 2010 china had 57 enrolled they say. But in 2013 they had already reached 68 and they expect to hit 75 in 2016. Of course not all Early Education programs are equal. Now i know my a, b, cs done right, preschool can have a profound effect on peoples lives. This week the Washington Post cited the famous perry preschool project. In 1962 researchers identified a group of 123 at risk africanamerican children in michigan. Giving about half of them access to preschool while the other half did not have access. They followed their subjects for four decades. What they found was remarkable. 77 of the people who went to preschool had graduated from high school compared to only 60 who had not gone to preschool. Those who went to preschool had a median annual income that was over 5,000 higher than the nonpreschoolers. And while 36 of the preschool graduates had been arrested more than five times, 55 of the nonpreschool graduates had been arrested more than five times. All tolled the roughly 15,000 investment per child yielded a total public savings of almost 200,000 thanks to the money not spent on welfare programs jail and other costs, according to the study. Oh and in addition preschool would help social mobility decrease inequality and make better use of the human talent of so many americans. Not a bad bargain. A quick programming note of sorts.
