"There's a Heisenberg principle at work here - the act of resisting terror by the target regime can be turned against that regime as further repression of the terrorist-sanctuary population. Think of it as an ideological judo trick that asymmetrical fighters use against big powers."

Sure. I get that argument. The argument against it is a noble one that, as I claimed earlier, is superordinate to the terrorist mind set. It is what causes a seargent to oppose his lieutenant's orders to commit an atrocity in the midst of a war against a clear cut enemy.

It is recognizable as 'self evident truth,' and so; it may have an impact on any human being caught up in the throws of conflicting ideologies.
