I find terrorism " understandable " the same way Darwin found the violence in Nature understandable

      I find terrorism " understandable " in the same way Charles Darwin found Nature" understandable " in terms of the " struggle for existence ". Human society evolved from some very socialized primate species. The CLASS STRUGGLE , in the final analysis, is the root of this terrorist insanity. As the young Karl Marx said "ideas do not fall down from the sky " - no, not even maniacal religious hallucination inspired by holy books . The Koran is no more inherently pernicious than the Old Testament . Jesus warned His followers not to cast the first stone. So stoning must have been an exciting pastime in Israel too. And John the Baptist was beheaded- another venerable tradition in the Holy Land before the Romans " civilized " it .
Today the United States is the greatest purveyor of STATE VIOLENCE in the world. Its " war on terrorism " is a phony cover for imperialist interests in the region.
By the way, Vladimir Putin is better at fighting terrorism.
And by the way, the neo-cons want to PRIVATIZE the public library. A more " civilized " way to destroy it.
If you think the American ruling class is fond of free speech and free thought and public access to THE FACTS , then you are very mistaken.
