By which I mean, we don't have give them our understanding.

We need to understand the terrorists in much the same way we need to understand a chronic disease. It's one thing to thow pills and ointments at a chronic skin rash, for example, but if we don't get at the underlying cause, it's going to keep coming back time and time again.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying we need to "appease" terrorists by any means and I agree that their tactics are the scurge of the earth, but we need to have a solid understanding of where, exactly, they are coming from. And I don' think "They hate us 'cause our freedoms" is an accurate portrait. After the London bombings, Tony Blair was ringing that point home and I applaud him for it.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think the problem facing mankind these days is extremism or all forms. Extremist Muslims, Christians, Republicans, Democrats, Prison Guards, Journalists, whatever -- none of it is healthy or productive. <BR/><BR/>"Where have all the moderates gone?<BR/>Turned to wack-jobs every one<BR/>When will they ever learn?<BR/>When will they ever learn?"_https://www.blogger.com/profile/00632513807361321359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067755.post-1121220828623188982005-07-12T22:13:00.000-04:002005-07-12T22:13:00.000-04:00SO True bill.
