Deepak Chopra offers some geopolitical advice.
In a broad sense I agree with his points.
Money quote:
…if terrorism is like cancer, let’s treat it that way. Cancer is universal, endemic, and never entirely eradicable. For this generation, terrorism is the same. Our goal should be to keep it in check, with a final vision of healing it. The right wing may resist this interpretation with all its might, but the noxious effects of inflaming Arab sympathizers and thus turning them into terror cells is there for all to see.
I would only add that what looks like a new “surge” of 4 to 5 brigades might miss the mark, or even, by Chopra’s logic, may deepen the cancer’s malignancy. Is anyone talking about a surge in diplomacy?
What do you think?
