At our family dinner time we discussed the bombings in London. I have three sons and my youngest son is 7 years old. With a furrowed brow he looked at me and said "Why don't they tell us what they want? If they told us then we could do something."
Well, that is the problem. We can't honestly appease them even if we wanted to. So I can't really see how John Derbyshire's comments can be remotely true.
But perhaps I'm just being ignorant - so can anybody tell me what the members of Al-Qaeda really want? What do I tell my 7 year old son? And just what do the members of Al-Qaeda say to their 7 year old sons?
