    Who could have ever guessed that programming people for dehumanization of their enemies and mass murder wouldn’t mesh well with ideological extemism?

    SecDef Rumsfeld (POS) once questioned if we were creating more terrorists than we are killing? You can say a lot of nasty things about old Don, but it was a good question. He just didn’t ask the next question, “what happens if it comes home to roost?” If it’s radicalization by Turner diaries in Las Vegas or ISIS in New Orleans, the effect is the same. We live in a complicated world and look for simple solutions.
