Just because something isn&#x27;t necessary doesn&#x27;t mean we shouldn&#x27;t do it. Your comment isn&#x27;t necessary, and it isn&#x27;t making a friend of me. Does this mean that it&#x27;s your fault if I attack you? That you should have backed out and minded your own business?<p>That&#x27;s a stupid and suicidal policy.<p>&gt;Far from a mere &quot;factor,&quot; it&#x27;s been the single most consistent and driving force behind all terrorism against us.<p>So you say. But I can&#x27;t distinguish that whether that statement is fact or ideology. So I don&#x27;t believe you, and I shouldn&#x27;t until you&#x27;ve got some convincing evidence that it&#x27;s true. You can tell me a story. I don&#x27;t want a story.<p>And I really don&#x27;t see how people committing acts of terrorism are making good decisions that we should support by giving them what they want for doing so. Seems like a bunch of grudge-holders that need to grow up before negotiations become an option.
