John Stewart Onto Something?

We find John Stewart too smug for pleasant viewing, but many people we respect enjoy him. Stewart asked a legitimate question a few days ago, according to this post by Thomas DiLorenzo at the Lew Rockwell Blog:

I caught a few minutes of "The Daily Show" with John Stewart on Comedy Central TV yesterday (I was actually searching for "Blue Collar Comedy" featuring Larry the Cable Guy). Stewart is a funny guy, but also conducts some serious interviews. He was interviewing a Newsweek writer, Fahreed Zakharia (or something like that) about Iraq and said this: Let's see. The theory behind this war is that democracies do not breed terrorism. Question: Isn't England a . . . . . . . democracy? And weren't those subway bombers home grown? And doesn't this blow the democracy-stops-terrorism theory out of the water?
