David Virgil Hobbs,

Ah have been observin' th' Massachusetts political scene. Ah have been impressed by th' brilliant comments on fo'eign policy thet haf been prodooced by th' liberal Mass kindidates. Howevah, Ah cannot aller th' Mass liberals t'git ahaid of me in th' anti-terro'ist heroics. Ah have finished a draf' vahshun of mah noo 'Blather Terro'ism Dockrine'. Please send me yer comments on how th' draf' kin be improved.

Blather Terro'ism Dockrine

Th' wo'ld is composed of groups thet we is afraid of. Thar is no group in th' wo'ld thet does not frighten us. Tharfo'e all th' diffrunt groups in th' wo'ld, aside fum us, is terro'ist.

When two groups, terro'ist group A & terro'ist intity B is fightin' etch other, we sh'd back th' terro'ist group thet is less terrifyin', on account o' th' less terrifyin' group is less of a terro'ist threat t'us, compared t'th' mo'e terrifyin' group.

When terro'ist group A & terro'ist group B is fightin' etch other, & terro'ist group C is less of a terro'ist threat than terro'ist groups A & B, if terro'ist terro'ist group A's vicktory improves things fo' terro'ist group C we sh'd back terro'ist group A, & eff'n terro'ist group B's vicktory improves things fo' terro'ist group C, we sh'd back tero'rist group B.

An' so fo'th an' etcetera.

Whenevah a group develops frickshun wif another group, we sh'd intervene t'jack up th' violence as much as postible, on account o' all groups aside fum us is terro'ist, an' th' mo'e they fight wif etch other, th' better fo' us.

Senator Blather,

My response to your ideas:

The mere fact that you are afraid of a person or a group, does not prove that the entity you are afraid of, is terrorist.

Conceivably, it would be a superior solution, if we were to put our resources of time energy and money into activities that improve our defenses against attack by any terrorist group, be it A, B, or C.

Generally, strong groups are more terrifying compared to weak groups. If we habitually support the weak groups, this could end up putting us in an unfavorable situation; such could turn the weak groups into our allies, and the strong groups into our enemies, resulting in defeats for us.

Stirring up death and destruction in foreign nations, by way of supporting this or that terrorist group, could damage us economically. Often those who stay out of conflicts are more popular than those who become embroiled in conflicts they originally had no part in. It's hard to make the sale when you are unpopular.

Death and destruction lead to poverty. The impoverished are not able to buy the goods and services we sell.

Death and destruction reduce the productivity-per-hour rate. Thus the afflicted society has no time and energy to put into acquiring skills that would enable them to have an income level allowing them to buy the goods and services we sell.

There is a danger that one day the US could face a group that makes a proclamation:

"We, the nations of the world, are tired of the US stirring up strife, death and destruction in our nations. We are tired of the US stirring up strife, death and destruction in nations other than our own. We are tired of the US stirring up strife, death and destruction pitting nation against nation. We pledge ourselves to retaliate against the US. We pledge ourselves to take revenge upon the US. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We pledge ourselves to stirring up strife death and destruction in the US. We pledge ourselves to the destruction of the US leaders who have wreaked havoc amongst us".

We live in a time, wherein violence between nations that are far away from us, can easily result in damage to ourselves. Persons driven insane by war can turn against us. The winds, rain, ocean-currents, & rivers can carry poisons released by modern war to our shores.

Senator Blather, I know that you are a God-fearing man. Here are a few relevant scriptures:

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth...Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy...Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool...As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool...He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears...Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth...As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife...Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
