2196 Old Thought on Terrorism

Sunday, January 4, 2009

Cleaning out more junk from the den, I found a slip of paper with a thought from a few years ago. I still don't have the answer.

President Bush said that any country that supports terrorism (in that "axis of evil" speech) is itself guilty of terrorism.

At the time, the British had been enduring decades of the IRA blowing up civilians. Americans were supporting the IRA, with implicit US government approval.

What does that mean?

Oh, and the IRA terrorism situation is the only one that's ever been resolved peacably. How did it happen. Each side negotiated with 'terrorists.' And we sat there and cheered that on.
