On NPR’s “The Connection,” Juliette Kayyem, homeland security expert
at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Govenrment, suggested that more
countries may find that France’s approach to the US may be the safest
and best. She noted that France isn’t mentioned in the attackers’
message.
Haven’t we all tried the French approach before? Don’t Cato and
Pat Buchanan suggest the same for the US? Isn’t this what led to the
genocide in Rwanda? Just because somebody doesn’t want to share the
sandbox, does that mean you let them have the sandbox?
Why is the reaction to terrorist attacks still: “What have we done to make them blow up innocent people? Let’s stop doing that.”
What
has gone wrong in the last 40 years that those who claim to be
aggrieved are the aggressors and can still claim the moral high ground
that the nonviolent movements of Gandhi and King held?
