David Bernstein quotes Glenn Greenwald as saying:
Terrorism ends when the causes of it are addressed, typically via diplomatic means.
Greenwald has a point. After all we all remember how succesfully we used diplomacy to bring an end to causes of terrorism back in….
…well, I ...

Another good response to notorious idiot Gleen Grenwald’s latest false assertion: Greenwald has a point. After all we all remember how successfully we used diplomacy to bring an end to causes of terrorism back in… …well, I mean sometime we must have… …nope, on second thought, diplomacy has never brought an end to terrorism.

In fact, terrorism is the tool of power-crazed sociopaths who exploit any pretext in order to murder their way to wealth and power. Terrorists stop only when ...

The Gaza War and the "Anti-War" Left
Stones Cry Out —

Any concessions simply bolster their cause for more terrorism. Israel, after decades of pressure, gave up land for peace. They did the former, but they never got the latter. And if all they do is make concessions, they never will. (Remember this when discussing "root causes" of 9/11, by the way.) ...
