David's Medienkritik points out how Germany's terror management plan has fallen short:
"...only be tackled effectively by combating root causes..." - the German government isn't even able to tackle the root causes of economic misery in Germany, much less poverty and inequity in Africa and the rest of the world. And if Germany and all the do-gooders of this world in fact would succeed by some magic formula to get rid of poverty and inequity everywhere, how would that keep Al Qaeda from suicide-bombing infidels? After all, suicide bombers are promised 70 virgins in paradise from the prophet Mohammed.
Speaking of sheer economic misery...budgets have gotten so tight in Germany that many forms of aid have been hosed...like this one. Things continue to spiral out of control and it seems everything is going down the tubes. (Well, everything except German feet.) Soon the yodellers may not have a L'egg to stand on.
Now, that's a root cause...
