PING!
Further proof(imho) of Cato's slide to the left.
And having this column published on September 11 was not a bright move on the Chicago Tribune's part, IMO.
Pure BS.
Be very, very careful what you ask for, Adam. We are quite capable, should we be pushed too far, of turning this around and doing just that to you. But first we'd have to unite and free up our own rear of domestic enemies, and I doubt that's happening anytime soon.

Never forget that there is one upside to suicide bombing: it's one less of them that we have to figure out how to do away with.
And, extending the metaphor of the 'Roe Effect', if they do it long enough they're gonna run out of volunteers
That said, it has been my contention since 911 that the way to deal with this problem is to find out who is behind this, and mercilessly punish them, their friends, family-- in short anyone whose life they came in contact with would be called fair game.
It would stop this dead in its tracks
"Libertarianism" is inherently atheistic, materialistic, and isolationist. This is not a new development, but rather is the foundation upon which "libertarianism" is built. "Libertarians" (just as Marxists) will always try to convince us to ignore all aspects of human nature other than material acquisitiveness. God tells us otherwise. I'm going to side with God on this one.
It is academic what causes it. We will impress on them the advisability of cutting that sh** out.
Unfortunately, that "occupation" appears to include the entire nation of Israel. A nation of Jews. The sucide bombers seem to hate Jews.
But, why is their foreign occupation of their lands? It goes something like this: We're doing business over there with some dictator. Some dissident group is mad at us for, in effect, supporting the dictator by dealing with him. Because, the US must protect its interest, troops are sent. The dissidents then claim occupation is occuring.
The US, in the past, didn't care and only dealt with the dictatorial regime (as awkward as that was). However, as 9/11 showed us, that didn't prevent anything. The other plan would be to kick out the dictators and let the people decided. We can all see what's going on in Iraq, can't we?
the bottom line is those Middle Eastern Countries are basket cases because of them, not us. The other bottom line is we have to deal with them...like it or not.
The west is in a very dicey situation. Deal with the dictators and we're wrong. Implement democracy and we're wrong. In a situation like this, I choose the side of freedom and the overthrow of dictators everywhere.
The better question is, what we've learned about the Cato Institute since 9/11.
"The better question is, what we've learned about the Cato Institute since 9/11."
My thoughts exactly!
Robert Pape has little or no understanding of jihad.
"how do the millions killed in the sudan and other areas by muslims figure into this???"
I don't think that there is a great deal of use of suicide bombings in the Sudan at all.
Cato was a great organization at one time(imho). They were one of the first policy groups in Washington that was not run by leftist elitists and they sided with the Reagan Administration on most of his policy issues.
Since 911,they have changed dramatically for the worse.
heh heh! I was waiting for this to show up but sure wasn't expecting the animation! LOL
