1. Republicains could not defend and protect a Turkey sammich.

2. Terrorism is a tactic....it neither goes up or down

...anymore than the use of the ambush, the vertical envelopment, or the Blitz does in any particular frame of time.

Intensity of anti-American violence may well have gone up as you claim.

Terrorism is a noun that denotes the act of a particular verb, it is not a noun in-and-of itself.

It can never be found, or isolated, or defeated...any more than justice can.

3. So they can justify their warmongering existence.

4. 'cuz even maniacs tend to only kill people when they're being fucked with

and Republicans fuck with people more. Much as we invariably support Israel, under Carter and Clinton we kept the dialog open and tried to make some moves toward fairness. It goes alont with the spirit of liberalism: people have the right to be different. Reactionary nutcases want to eradicate anything different.

This is ot an issue of justification or fairness, it's pure causality.

But then, you knew this...
