DoD's insurgent strategy
Matt Welch links to a fascinating DoD report on how to repair America's credibility with the Muslim world.
Today we reflexively compare Muslim "masses" to those oppressed under Soviet rule. This is a strategic mistake. There is no yearning-to-be-liberated-by-the-U.S. groundswell among Muslim societies -- except to be liberated perhaps from what they see as apostate tyrannies that the U.S. so determinedly promotes and defends.

If you enjoy this kind of sociology, you will enjoy reading the writings of someone named Eric Hoffer. His writings in the 60s and 70s are incredibly insightful, and while I agree with your over all premise, there are some similarities that you can see as he writes about communism in his book "The Ordeal of Change." Just a suggestion.
