His blather about terrorism being home grown is proven false by American history. McVeigh was a once-in-history event. 9/11 was a four-times-in-a-day event, and others like the Shoe Bomber are yet to come.
Large-scale terrorism takes money, organization, and knowledge. Reid was deficient in all three. Like the carrier of cocaine from Columbia, he was merely the mule. Others paid his way around the world. Others provided the specialized plastic explosive. Others organized his murderous insanity, or he would merely be stealing purses in the streets of London.
Terrorism is a strange plant. Destroy the roots and the leaves continue to live -- for a while. But without the money, expertise and organization, they, too, will die.
I haven't seen an article yet that came from or through antiwar.com that could qualify as logical or rational. The whole world is seen through their filter. And the sweep of human history demonstrates (sadly, I admit) that they are dead wrong about war.
There are times, admittedly, that nations have blundered into entirely preventable wars. India and Pakistan are on the brik of just such a conflict. But there are other times, as with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, that war to the finish is better than peace at all costs. The "peace in our times" of Munich led directly to the global horor of World War II.
antiwar.com cannot get Munich through their thick skulls. It will not fit in their world view, so they pretend it never happened, while proselytizing for another Munich. Their screeds are a waste of JimRob's bandwidth. They have no redeeming social importance.
