Jochen, do you know what causes terrorism? Could it be that Arabs have no freedom or democracy in the Middle East like we do here in the West?

So how does Germany propose to stop terrorism? Right now it looks like Germany doesn't propose to stop it. Rather, they react to leads and play the ongoing game of defending their homeland, but Germany doesn't have a long term plan for stopping the root cause of terrorism.

The U.S. does. It's a comprehensive manifesto for bringing Democracy to the Middle East. We've had enough of the shit coming out of the Middle East that has been caused by decades of autocratic rule and corruption. We want an end to that and a beginning for Democracy so that the common Arab can find more joy out of life and stop loving death so much.

Why is it that Europe is so focused on the symptoms, but not the cure? Spain is the latest to succumb to putting bandaids over a gaping stab wound. Do they really think that pulling their troops out of Iraq will make them safer? Vichy France thought they had figured a way out too.
