If for one moment we thought the war on terror was all about us, what we're doing, what we've done, and how the rest of the world reacts to us, then we miss that it's really about the terrorists' rage, their ideology, their nihilism.There was no reason for the terrorists to strike at a resort town on the Red Sea if they were trying to attack us.
So instead we must try to understand what makes someone who sees a group of people enjoying the sun and the sea and think, these people must die even if I must kill myself to do it.
Eighty-eight people, possibly more, were killed by people who held their fellow man in such contempt that they decided their cause was worth more than the lives of their countrymen and co-religionists.
Sartre was wrong. Hell isn't other people. Just some people belong in Hell.
