Simon Corcoran - Just to assure everyone knows what you're praising, Mr. Lieb wrote "No matter how wrong you believe the U.S. is for its involvement in Middle East conflicts, and how understandable you may feel Islamic terrorism is, to suggest it is unreasonable for us to do whatever is necessary to minimize terrorist activity on U.S. soil is irresponsible.

And no one is should hold his breath while pacifists try to figure out how to end the geopolitical violence in the world. As Robert Ardrey said in his 1966 textbook "Territorial Imperative," from before the time their ancestors came down out of the trees over 1 million years ago, right up to the present, Homo sapiens have been fighting among themselves for territory. Good luck changing that genetic behavior anytime soon."
