Laurent Murawiec

Laurent Murawiec (Paris 1951 – Washington, 7 October 2009 ) was a French neoconservative figure, member of the Hudson Institute and of the Committee on the Present Danger, and formerly defence analyst at the RAND corporation. Murawiec was an associate of Lyndon LaRouche from 1973 to 1986, and wrote for Larouche's Executive Intelligence Review in the 1980s.

In July 2002, Murawiec gave a presentation regarding Middle East policy for the USA before the Defence Policy Board Advisory Committee. Murawiec argued that "In the Arab world, violence is not a continuation of politics by other means – violence is politics, politics is violence" and calling for an "ultimatum to the House of Saud", Murawiec was subsequently expelled from RAND.
