KAL's cartoon (from The Economist), a good illustration of the mentality that seems to prevail in the USA.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
Nothing underlines this well-worn saying more than this shocking experience by an American citizen, in her own country.
Terrorism is a tactic that is used by the disaffected, solving the underlying problems is the key to a long term solution. Unless an equitable and just solution is found for Palestine, it will remain a festering sore and a lightning rod for anger against the US.
Sort out the root problem, don't deal with the symptoms.
