I wonder if we think about why terrorist organizations exist. They don’t appear out of a vacuum. They occur because of trauma and violence. Drone strikes that obliterate innocent families give rise to deep trauma. Policies that limit democracies in the Middle East because the US wants resources, give rise to trauma and insecurity. Forcing a group of people into apartheid conditions and not giving those people voice, gives rise to trauma and insecurity, the US policies towards war and coups to support our interests, gives rise to trauma and insecurity. Where does humanity go when one is a politician? Where does humanity go, when one takes up the mantle of leadership? When do politicians such as yourself look in the mirror and see that your policies, such as every US President has created the instability and horrors we see in our world?
