Stalinism come round

This article, arguing that the failure of the West to adequately deal with--or even understand--the current Islamist movement is a result of our failure to deal with the ideological offspring of Communism, makes a strong case. I think it's maybe a bit oversold as far as laying too much of the blame on Stalin, in that some of the ideas were circulating in early 20th century America as the result of different historical moments. Still, Stalin's not a bad place to start.
