Who Is Responsible For Terrorism?


Asking the question: Who is responsible for terrorism?... is more proof the intellectual left is on the precipice of intellectual madness. Even discussing it adds credibility to the argument that the tenets of "Political Correctness" have gone far beyond tolerance.

Could it be, that in their misguided attempt to be "Politically Correct", the intellectually astute have distorted their own actuality and reality and have diminished their ability to think clearly on any subject?

There is absolutely nothing to decide or ponder. The terrorist are responsible for their acts of terrorism. The answer to this question now opens the door to debate as to why they are committing these unspeakable acts of brutality against innocent men, women and children. In this discussion arena, any reason is as good as any other. Such is the nature of intellectual madness.

A brutal killer can now be excused for his/her dastardly deeds because of what happened in his/her childhood. Madmen, masquerading as religious, spiritual or political leaders, can now be excused for their heinous crimes because they have suffered political, economic and/or social persecution. The fact of the matter is we are responsible for what we do or do not, not our mothers, fathers, the government or self-styled dictators and their supporters.

Human society is what it is because of the ideologies, concepts and precepts human beings are willing to accept as true. It rarely matters whether this ideology comes from GOD or madmen like Hitler, Stalin, Caligula, Mussolini or the late Saddam Hussein. Human beings make their own decisions and then dutifully seek ways, means and/or methods to isolate themselves from their actions, activities and their own decision making process.

They artfully and skillfully transfer their responsibility to others. We casually call this the blame game, but in war and politics this is a high stakes game played for real..in real time...and with real consequences. These modern barbarians instinctively know that somewhere out there on planet earth are idiots and educated fools that will believe them.

How is this done? They blame others and then ask the question. The question becomes a political, religious, spiritual, economic or social statement that has sympathetic appeal. Now, instead of hauling these barbaric individuals off to the gallows and executing them for their crimes against humanity, a "so-called" "self styled" intellectual now takes up the cause and begins blaming American foreign policy or some other situation, circumstance or event as the reason for terrorism and the acts of terrorist.

This insidious madness goes even further, these butchers are now hailed as heroes by their own people. Some are even transformed into icons for public consumption and actually considered as martyrs for the cause.

This unthinkable act, sucks even more unsuspecting men and women into this murderous and detestable lifestyle. It matters little that the acts of these "so called" martyrs are immoral and senseless acts of human butchery. How does this happen so easily and with so little effort? It can be traced directly and indirectly right back to ideologies, concepts and precepts they accepted as being true.
