Perhaps it should not take a bloody nose for anyone to see the truth about
terrorism?

I feel sorry for you. What do you do if you disagree with your wife? Does she
beat you until you do agree, or do you talk the problem over?
What the ME shows is how violence does not work and diplomacy can work.
Diplomacy in the ME brought peace far closer than violence ever has. The
problem is that the diplomatic solution meant that Israel had to give back land
that did not belong to it. The nationalists in Israel [and their supports
further a field] could not countenance that. We see the resultant bilateral
terrorism today. Indeed, I read over the weekend that Israel murdered a UN
worker.
Conversely, Israel’s history also shows how belligerence and terrorism can
work. Do you deny that?
A war on terror will never stop terrorism. I war on injustice has a better
chance.
