Chris Hedges: The Terror We Give Is the Terror We Get

51. Some times posters will use continual questioning to try to get

someone to stumble in their argument. This is easier than actually presenting an opposing argument.

If you think Mr. Hedges is "saying everything we do brings terrorism upon us. " and you disagree, then why don't you simply provide your counter argument instead of asking question of posters that are not Mr. Hedges?

Here is what I think. The USofA is the biggest terrorist country by far but it's accepted by many Americans because of nationalistic exceptionalism. While one might argue that if we stop, the "bad guys" won't, and I won't disagree, but they sure as hell won't if we continue. Bullying is never the right way to win an argument. I also think that we lose something valuable when we sink to the level of the terrorists and it's hard to get back.

The other issue, is that just because someone doesn't have a better idea, that doesn't mean they can't object to the idea presented.
