An interesting debate, the University of Oxford. A must watch. Full debate is available. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2DZ8bbxd8U "Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous." David Hume |

"... Ground forces are going to make however much anger or terrorism there is worse, which is why when we invaded and conquered Iraq, we produced the largest suicide campaign in history...." "And military occupation matters because it represents not exactly how many soldiers are on a piece of soil, but rather control of the local government, the local economic system, and the local social system. It’s the military occupation of the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan that allows us to inform and impose change in women’s rights. And I’m not saying that’s a bad thing; what I’m saying is that when you impose women’s rights at the point of a gun, then that creates a sense in the local community that they’ve lost their self-determination. What you’r"e seeing with not all, but most, suicide terrorists is a response to loss of self-determination for their local community." chicagopolicyreview.org/2015/05/05/myth-busting-robert-pape-on-isis-suicide-terrorism-and-u-s-foreign-policy/ |
