From the latest edition of Q-News (scroll down a little):
"There are some ideological liberals in our community who take to the pulpit to argue that American, British and Canadian foreign policy is responsible for creating the fertile grounds for violent extremists to germinate. The argument is lame and they know it. It is true that Western foreign policy is often driven by greed and ignorance and in most cases it results in death and destruction to countless innocent people, many of them in the Muslim world. But to conclude that foreign policy is wholly responsible for terrorism and suicide bombings is hogwash. The people who are advancing this argument are trying to save their own skin.
"Blaming Western foreign policy for fomenting extremism is precisely the argument that Ayman Al-Zawahiri and his new sidekick, American convert Adam Yahiye Gadahn a.k.a. ‘Azzam the American’ want us to advance to justify their vision of a ‘New Jihad World Order.’ When we buy in we end up advancing the goals of this fringe group of loud and obnoxious Muslim men and women who are hell-bent on heralding The End."
But you read that argument here first folks. And blaming "ideological liberals" is also a cop-out.
One of the sins I am trying to eject from my life - I'll probably blog on this when I get time - is moralizing. I see it as being a peculiarly middle class sin. Middle class journalists are particularly prone to it. Let's not beat around the bush, it's finger pointing. And it's divisive. Better to point the finger at the action itself and the social, cultural and even psychological processes that facilitate it. But I'll need to give myself a damn good thrashing before this demon flees.
