From the New York Times

A reporter contrasts the views of older democratic and younger revolutionary Islamist leaders in the towns of southwestern Pakistan near the Afghanistan border.
Some dichotomies this article raised in my mind: peaceful versus violent means of gaining and maintaining state power and social stability; young versus old; democrats versus autocrats; pragmatists versus idealists; democratic motivations versus religious motivations; the means are part of the ends versus the ends justify the means.
