The Root Cause of Terrorism isÂ…Terrorists Duh
Slate:But if JI were rational, it wouldn't have attacked the bars and clubs and beaches of Kuta and Jimbaran in the first place. Indonesia is a mainly Muslim society, whose government takes a stern line against the war in Iraq and even Afghanistan
Ok so Hitchens has that part right why is he the only one on the left with his eyes open?
Dr. Sanity has a good explanation.
Hitchens is being logical. Hitchens is trying to appeal to the principles that he believes are the foundation for Leftist thoughtÂ…Â… He is able to see the essential truth about the Islamofascists, and has accordingly supported the war in Afghanistan and the removal of Saddam. He thinks he is supporting the principles of his ideologyÂ… Â… if he thinks for one moment that people like George Galloway and the members of ANSWER or the rest of the lunatic fringe of the Left give one whit for any rational arguments--he is deluding himself
Rational thought has never been a strong point of the Left or the terrorists. The terrorist will blow you up right in the middle of the apology and then dance on your broken body afterward. Trying to ascribe reason to an enemy that doesnÂ’t play that is just silly. The only reason to try and understand the terrorists is so you can kill them first. Oh yes they can use reason or emotion as a tool for the deception of the infidel. Let me be clear it's the terrorists and those who follow them. Don't want to be like evil or anything.

Tim Blair did a post today on Hitchens' latest, and as part of his analysis included this quote from leftist Australian journalist Pamela Bone:
”A move back towards the left for you?” a regular correspondent emailed, in response to a recent column. “I never left the left. The left left me,” I replied. “The left I thought I was part of didn’t make common cause with fascists.” This did not please him.
That seems to apply to Hitchens, as well. It's also worth noting that the Left that Hitchens supports didn't make common cause with lunatics, either.

Exactly!! Hitchens (and Ms. Bone) are "small l" liberals and leftists.
Galloway and his ilk are Liberals. They are more concerned with being against anything supported by the Right (or right) than they are with actually being right, as in correct.
Hitchens and the rest of his endangered species are more concerned with the purpose of a thing, eg. the war in Iraq, than with who is supporting it.

DSM- the ever lovin' truth..they honestly believe if we kill 'em all, that will solve terrorism forever and ever...
Fools...terrorists must be contained or addressed...terrorism works like this-very simple. They "up the ante-we up the ante-they up the ante-we up the ante- and so it goes round and round...Contained or addressed-or stop writing and go fight them yourself. The military has a serious recruiting shortage.
The commanders on the ground say the situation in Iraq calls for a "political solution and not a military one."
Only a coward beats on his chest screaming war, all the while expecting someone else to fight and die for a cause they cannot even specify...so kiss my ass warmongers....
