Terrorism is a result of our stupid policy decisions and our meddling in other countries affairs.

But that's not what I'm talking about...what we don't have is a solution...all this is an identification of a cause. "Anybody can *take* a reservation..." :-)

"Stop meddling and have smart policies," while appearing to be a solution by nature of being antithetical, is still a little too vague to actually act on.

I'm not smart enough to know what smart policies would be, but there would be a cost to the stopped meddling...as I said before, there will be a cost to someone by any course of action.

Pretty dumb thing for such a smart guy to say.

I mean its not like mid-East terrorism started with 9/11 or Al-Qaeda. It was around during the 72 Olympics and I'm sure earlier than that.

Blaming the US -- that's brilliant. Instead you should be blaming the fucked up Middle East.
