My next two shows feature two of our leading public intellectuals, discussing two timely topics, “Western terrorism” and “humanitarian intervention”. . . which amount to the same thing these days, the latter being a euphemism for the former. You might even say that “humanitarian intervention” is an oxymoron like “jumbo shrimp” and “military intelligence.”

Terror For Dummies Top 10
by JENNIFER MATSUI
It’s funny how the terms “terrorism” or “mass murder” are only applied when the group or individual carrying out deadly acts of violence have an agenda that isn’t tied to money or profit.
