Terror threat/ Vain hope
No sane human being will applaud the latest act
of unspeakable barbarism carried out by ISIS against its hostage, the Jordanian
pilot, First Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasasbeh. Too many people will nevertheless
point to this latest unspeakable murder as a rationale for continued, even
stepped up, efforts by the United States and its “coalition partners”,
including (tragically) Jordan, to bomb it into oblivion. Thanks to our media
and to the mainstream political commentators in the United States, it will be
decidedly more difficult for the average news reader to discern that this is
the worst possible action our leaders can take.
