(New York Post) Amir Taheri - The 9/11 Commission report is mistaken in speaking of "political grievances" as it tries to explain the Islamists within the parameters of classical logic. The politics of compromise, as practiced in democracies, does not work with the kind of enemy the U.S. now faces. This enemy does not want to give and take. He wants you to obey him in every detail or he will kill you. The "enemy" in question will not be happy even if, in the spirit of generosity, you gave him half of your power and wealth. Nor would he settle for a total American withdrawal from the world. Nor would he be satisfied if you helped wipe Israel off the map. Because this enemy's conflict is not political but existential. He wants to rule you because he thinks he is the holder of "the highest form of truth." 2004-07-30 00:00:00Full Article
