You a...Thank you very much for that responce John. You are very correct. One of the big problems with the American responce to Terror, is we continue to assume they are merely fringe nuts driven to insanity by too much praying. We need to recognize that there is a coherent underlying intention behind these acts.<br /><br />Pinning that intention down may be difficult to do here, but we should realize that to a great many people the culture of America and its juggernaught export of that lifestyle represents a real threat to the culture they wish to live in.<br /><br />Mind I am not saying that Islam's view of morality, authority, religion,women, etc is correct. But they are correct in seeing our culture as exporting ideas which are antithetical to their views. <br /><br />We are in fact a threat to their way of life and so the people who respond can be driven not only with intent, but possibly a level of logic that is scarey to conceive. Treating the terrorist organizations as simple minded, blind zealots can be a serious mistake. The people they use as tools may be simple minded, but that does not preclude intent nor logic.<br /><br />THANKS FOR COMMENTING - will read the aggression link!Penumbrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668141305418104642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482931057165954417.post-66322776287538896832010-02-06T13:24:34.574-05:002010-02-06T13:24:34.574-05:00Last Tuesday, Directors of the CIA, FBI and Nation...Last Tuesday, Directors of the CIA, FBI and National Intelligence declared that an attack by Al Qaeda in the next 3 to 6 months “is certain!” Leon Panetta, CIA Director announced, “The biggest threat is not so much that we face an attack like 9/11. It is that Al Qaeda is adapting its methods in ways that oftentimes make it difficult to detect.” <br />Panetta’s statement does not take into account the ability to identify any terrorist whose goal it is to give up their life for a cause. Only when you are observing measurable emerging aggression can you identify a terrorist before they effect their violence.<br /><br />The Center for Aggression Management discovered 15 years ago that there were two kinds of aggression: adrenaline-driven Primal Aggression and intent-driven Cognitive Aggression. The Primal Aggressor, in the extreme, is “red-faced and ready to explode,” the Cognitive Aggressor (the terrorist) is not. When a person, regardless of the culture, gender, education or position, rises to the level where their goal is to give up their life for a cause, their body looses animation and we see the “thousand-yard stare.” But it is more than this, the whole body and behavior looses animation and this is how we can identify them. The problem is that security and law enforcement are still looking for the Primal Aggressor (red-faced and ready to explode). Of course they are finding it difficult to detect these terrorist; a terrorist is a Cognitive Aggression; they are looking for the wrong person! <br />You can read more at http://blog.AggressionManagement.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
