Honestly, how does someone become as morally confused as Deepak Chopra? What is the source of such an enfeebled ability to reason in the realm of morality? It’s not just that he’s wrong—rather, it is that he reverses good and evil, right and wrong, decent and indecent. So it’s more than just ignorance. It’s some kind of active process that is “jamming” his conscience and making it dysfunctional. It is a moral dementia.
You see, it’s all our fault. The problem began not with the terrorists, but with our response to them. This is logical—no different than how crime is caused by police, ignorance is caused by education, and disease is caused by doctors.

For Chopra, the film depicts, “with sickeningly convincing brutality, how tragically that approach has failed.” Follow the holy man’s paradoxical reasoning closely here. You see, the terrorists have not failed. Rather, it is our “sickeningly brutal response” to the terrorists that has failed.

Funny you should mention "jamming" -- it's a known propaganda technique, of sending powerful contradictory messages to critics: contradictory of their own good opinion of themselves, in order to trick them into reevaluation and self-examination at the very moment they are delivering their moral point.

Jamming is the equivalent of a blow to the groin. It's not just dishonest, it celebrates dishonesty as the road to victory. It's a sand-in-the-eyes technique, and the embodiment of the antislogan, "all's fair."

Homosexuals use this dishonest, hate-filled "jamming" a lot in their war against the preachers of Genesis and Leviticus -- and they do so openly, as described by Hunter Madsen and Marshall Kirk in After the Ball.
