Mmmmmm. Brevity being the soul of wit etc. 'namby-pamby PC touchy-feely' is a
collection of adjectives I seldom encounter in relation to myself (I think if I
was John I'd be offended ;-), and its not like the additional detail is helping
very much.
Understand your enemy and you learn how to defeat him.
Terrorist violence cannot be defeated by stricter security (it can be reduced,
it might get worse)
Terrorist violence can be defeated (over the long term) by removing or
ameliorating the circumstances which create the support base
It is critical that we increase security, try to understand, and try to
undermine the support structures.
Failure to do any one of these three things prevents success.
Thinking that terrorists hate freedom is small minded.
