... sociologists and social psychologists have discovered that terrorist groups use cult-like conditioning techniques to convert normal individuals into remorseless killers ...

... limited global counterrorism resources should focus on eradicating the terrorist group training camps where the conditioning takes place ...

... If a terrorist is truly convinced that enemy old people, women and children are evil creatures, then killing them is not just easy; it is necessary, honorable, and rewarded ...

What have we learned that will help responsible authorities eradicate terrorism? ... (1) If a leader is eliminated, the group is greatly weakend. ... (2) Aggressively disrupting the training camps wherever we find them not only hurts terrorist groups operationally, it should greatly diminish the effects of the conditioning. ... (and 3) The results here support the idea of aggressively pursuing and eliminating the funding for these (madrasas) schools.

An interesting and "clinical" read.

Democrats=Socialists=Terrorists

It's that simple.

Here's an idea who's time may come:

Once upon a time another fearsome suicide army threatened America.

We found a sure-fire way to eliminate it forever.

The Japanese were greeted with nukes downtown.

And the entire culture was exorcised of its demons.

Think the smirking and complicit radical-Muslim nations aren't aiding and supporting the murderers who plot our destruction? Think again.

It will take a similar cultural experience to deliver them from Evil.

Hmmmm... I misread the title as "Terrorists are made to burn."

Personally, I like my brain's messed up version better.
