What you need to know about militantism, but were afraid to ask
"Iraqi" "resistance" kidnap French. Possible conclusions:
1) Islamists terrorists do not just want to change our foreign policy. After that has been achieved, they'll try to change our domestic policies.
2) Terrorists kidnap/murder first, think of a "reason" later.
"Chechen" "rebels" hold schoolchildren hostage. Conclusions:
1) There's no action too heartless and gutless for you to be called a "rebel", or "militant" or "activist" by the media.
2) Islamists don't just dislike America and its close allies. They dislike pretty much everybody.
