1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
"The Underlying Roots of Terrorism" is, to state the obvious, no small and no readily grasped set of topics. Cataloging facts and quantities is obviously not the same thing as assessing motives and causations, especially so when the stakes are so high and assessments, once acted upon and instituted as policy directives, can themselves be so consequential. Yet such qualitative assessments need to be made, obviously enough.
All this is in fact obvious; ironically, that's why it's worth some repeated emphasis. Hollywood, the MSM and various cultural elites in general, no doubt out of a variety of motives and interests, too often manage to elide and neglect the obvious, and reward and applaud themselves for doing so.
