I think Maria Horvath’s post above gets right to the heart of the matter–the Jihadists are willing to die for what they believe–The New York Times, and many others in the MSM and the democratic party generally simply dont understand that people are willing to die for what they believe–The regard jihadism as simply a failure to communicate–And it says much about the proponents of negotiation that they simply dont have a value structure that even permits them to understand that people are willing to die for their beliefs.
