and speaking of the pyramids...
It must be a bit of synchronicity - yet again - that I mention the pyramids one day, in direct rapport with European archeological findings and, soon enough, Egypt gets its version of the recent London bombings.
Revenge for Guantanamo Bay - Naama Bay? Perhaps... But this time though, the casualties are international; Europeans but also Arabs and Egyptians of course.
Their "exotic resort vacation" proved to be fatal...
Terror can strike anywhere, obviously; money will not protect you from it - might make you a primary target in fact...
This sociologist I heard about - on the radio actually (with a traditionalist like me, video never did kill the radio star. Neither did cable, internet, satellite dish TV, VHS and DVD technology - and whatever comes next! But I am digressing at the wrong time now...). Thus, this sociologist whose name eludes me for the moment suggested that fighting terror was really a socio-economical problem. Absolutely; we can ferret out who will be the most likely next wave of suicide-bombers and the like - through socio-economics! The data is there...
However, is this "solution" really and truly a solution? We can identify the next few zillion pawns all we want (those who carry forth the dirty work basically) - but that will not eliminate the heads of the problem; and that is what must be cut off. Besides, the pawns are like suckers - there's one born every minute.
