Thanks for the link.

I think, sometimes, people start on a path when they are younger, and inflammed with passion, that they wish that they might not have gone on, but it's too late.  Their entire lives are invested.

But when you have kids ... and grandkids, and the wealth of hindsight, sometimes you try to keep your kids from taking the same path, and enduring the same hardships.

I hope he kids and grand-kids listen to him.

There are many people in its context and events who'd have reason to push it forward for personal, political, etc reasons. (Not you, but bin-Laden, al-Salah, al-Qaeda etc, militant islam in general, and so forth.) And then there's the whole thing about offspring doing as their parents did, not as their parents said.

Thanks for noting it, though. I'm just sort of cynical about the extent of arab-muslim byzantine intrigues.

Well, the CIA wasn't paying well anymore, so it makes sense.
