10/17/2002 Entry: "Fighting terrorism"
Instapundit quotes Tim Blair:
"Killing and jailing terrorists wipes out terror. The only major European terrorist group from that era to survive in any significant way is the IRA, which tells us something: attacking terrorists doesn't breed terror. Negotiating with them does."Errr. Except that for all the time that violence was the main tactic against the IRA. It was the 'Good Friday agreement' that brought hostilities almost to an end.You might recall another "terrorist" who couldn't be negotiated with. Nelson Mandela is now regarded as perhaps the most respected of the world's statesmen.
