Steves' mind is as rumpled as his clothes.
There is a more fundamental question: why does he accept terrorist organizations as the legitimate representatives of Arab nations?
There are a few others. "Why did they do it"? Who exactly are "they" Mr. Steves? Who appointed them as the spokespeople for "one billion Muslims"?
If I take up arms, Mr Steves, and am willing to maim and kill for a cause I believe in (let's say removing all Muslims from American soil) - does that legitimize my cause? does that make me a leader and spokesperson of all other Americans, including you?
Can you think rationally? Logically? Or do you simply cower in the face of threats and danger? Or is the reluctance of Americans to spend their vacation dollars in Europe having an effect on your travel tour business?
This seems to be the root of the lefties philosophy. Abstract logic. In my 50 years I have never come across so many individuals where there opinions, excuses and answers defy all logic I have ever been taught. It defies factual and theoretical problem solving, which BTW coincides with the ideas and ideals of the insurgence to civilized society we are currently at war with. They truly live in a seperate universe. If only we could exile them to permanently reside in their never never land utopia of let bygones be bygones. The world would truly be a better place.
