Wisdom from across the Atlantic.

Barack Obama's running mate offers words of wisdom.


"Terror is a tactic," Joe Biden says. "Terror is not a philosophy."


Gwynne Dyer adds that it is a mantra that everybody in US politics should be required to chant each morning before work, even if it is slightly inaccurate. Terror is actually an emotion. Terrorism however is a tactic - a political tool or technique, more precisely - that can be used in support of a variety of causes. It is as misleading to declare war on terrorism as it would be declare war on propaganda.

"Terror is actually an emotion. Terrorism however is a tactic..."

It does, doesn't it.

This line actually is what made me want to blog about it.

Someone said today, "Beware of Obama Bin Biden" - hehehe. Just a quote that came to my mind.

Sigh, I hope it isn't as bad as that.
