If You Only Blame Security Measures, You'll Solve Nothing

As expected the Russian government takes an "it's not our fault" approach, "blame the airport security". Ridiculous. This is passing the buck or the ruble. The problem is not always security. It is not admitting that we have a major problem and putting our heads together to solve it.

And now that Lebanon with its new Prime Minister has pulled even further away from the West, watch out for more cells to develop and more suicide bombers to go into action. You can improve your security as best as you want, but this game now calls for offense as defense can only deal with symptoms.

Is Netanyahu the Only One Who Gets It When It Comes To Terrorism?

Earlier I wrote about the lame responses of B.O., Putin, NATO, and the Russian President. They were all dealing with symptoms. Now here's a desperate call from two Israelis -- Netanyahu and his Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman that I believe comes much closer to addressing the cause of the terrorism problems.

Lieberman says the problem is universal and goes beyond any country's borders.  But it was Netanyahu who's response was most "active" in its nature.  "Terror is international and the response to terror must also be international. If we join forces, the terrorists will not defeat us. We will defeat them and prevent their missions," Netanyahu said, speaking in the Knesset plenum according to the Jerusalem Post.


He's got it.  By jove, he's got it.  Let's decide who is really against all terrorism and who isn't (logic would say that those that aren't against it either are the terrorists or support the terrorists) and then let's have one side deal with the other practically and effectively, at any cost.  And no, I am NOT suggesting military force necessarily (but military force if necessary).  No, first, we must take strong and united diplomatic sanctions, followed by strong and united economic sanctions, followed by isolation.  Whatever it takes to smolder the burning embers of terrorism.


Can somebody tell me why not?    Anyway, here's the account from the Jerusalem Post.

Dealing With the Moscow Incident: Stop Going After Symptoms

The death toll is now up to 35, maybe higher, I don't know. But if you look at this article in the link below carefully, you'll see a few things of interest:

1. First, you'll see that the Russian President has vowed to track down and punish those behind this bombing.  Going after the symptom.

2. Then, you'll see B.O. offering Russia whatever 'help' they can.  Gee thanks.

3. Next, you'll see the NATO Secretary-General saying he was "shocked".  Really?

4. Finally, PM Putin has staked his political reputation on quelling rebellion in the North Caucasus.  Wow. That will bring an end to terrorism worldwide.

Each one of these leaders is handing out "bandaids" and "bandages".  They are afraid to step up and say "it's time to deal with the cause of the problem, whatever we believe it to be."   And by whatever means that will take.  But they must do something.   Which part of national and global "leadership" do they not understand?

At least 31 Dead at Moscow Airport Blast

31 dead, over 100 injured. If this is not evidence enough that the Islamic radical jihadists are moving into a new and escalated phase of activity, then I don't know what is. It will be most interesting to see what the Russians now do with this. I can only imagine one other place for something like this to happen that may get more of a reaction and that is Iran itself. But God forbid that it happen there or anywhere else. This madness must be stopped. Where is the WEST?
