Terrorism is an outmoded form of protest. It has yet to succeed to any long-term outcome.

Most terrorist outfits are run by reasonably smart guys. Twisted, but smart. Many are well-educated. In their inner heart of hearts, many of them know they’re doomed, and that their movements only remain afloat on a sea of blood.

In this instance, the terrorist de jour is one Khaled Mashaal, whom it is alleged holds a BS in Physics from Kuwait U. Takes some academic stones to get a degree in Physics. I doubt that *I* could do it (My degree is in Government, and my Masters work towards and MBA.) but along the way, most schools require at least a dalliance at some level in history.

Historically, there has never been a terrorist movement that has successfully achieved it’s aims.

This current iteration will be no different. Mashaal and other terrorists know this. But they also know they waste away to complete insignificance if they fold up there tents and go away… thus there dogged determination to fight to an ignoble end.

Like Hamas.
