Maybe thought should be given to the question why a terrorist wants to strike...
When people think of Machiavelli, they usually stop at "It is better to be feared than loved," and blow off anything else.
Too bad. He had the most accurate description of why political things happen. He would have considered the above question the most important question. I guess people would rather derive their righteousness through "reason" from a "sate of nature" rather than deal with the harsh truth.
If you think that "reason" will save you because you're "one of the good guys" you are in for nothing but disappointment.
You're right about one thing though, this is Slashdot. Redneck conservatives and pseudo-intellectual objectivists don't like to be confused by reason, especially when it comes to economics.
