City Journal: What Makes A Terrorist
City Journal is always an interesting read, so check them out when you get the chance. Here’s a must read: James Wilson’s "What Makes A Terrorist". Money quote: "Imagine what it would have been like to eliminate the Baader-Meinhof gang if most West Germans believed that democracy was evil and that Marxism was the wave of the future, if the Soviet Union paid a large sum to the family of every killed or captured gang member, if West German students attended schools that taught the evils of democracy and regarded terrorists as heroes, if several West German states were governed by the equivalent of al Fatah, and if there were a German version of Gaza, housing thousands of angry Germans who believed they had a right of return to some homeland."
Like France? Sorry, couldn’t resist…
