The principles behind the martial art of Aikido inform us that when faced with aggression, you can (with practice) move with the attacker's energy in such a way as to 1) avoid the assault, and 2) use the attacker's energy to incapacitate them.

It would seem that this principle should be applicable on a larger, cultural scale, and not just hand-to-hand combat.

However, the BushCo. Admin doesn't want to do this, and therefore refuses to defuse the reasons the "terrorists" attack. So there you go.

They actually don't care about the terrorists, and their actions over the past 4 years have increased the incidence of the use of terrorist tactics.
