Kerry: You Have to Understand Terrorists to Defeat Them
February 19, 2015 - 4:01 PM
'You cannot defeat what you don’t understand,' Secretary of State tells summit
By Patrick Goodenough

(CNSNews.com) – Declaring that “you cannot defeat what you don’t understand,” Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday suggested some reasons why tens of thousands of young people are flocking to join terrorist groups in the Middle East.

Among some of the likely motivations he listed were deprivation, a desire to avenge the death of a loved one, a response to “acts of discrimination or repression,” the desire to belong to a group, and “rebellion against anonymity.”

Absent from the list was any belief – misguided or otherwise – that joining a terrorist group was an Islamic duty or demonstration of religious zeal. (He did make reference to proselytizing in prison.)

Which begs the question: How then, can you "understand" them if you are unwilling to name them or discuss what their objective are or what motivates them?

You're not allowed to ask John F. Kerry questions like that! He served in Vietnam you know!

This is why you must defeat them on a psychological level.

You must ensure that they believe that they will end up in hell and not get heaven and their 72 virgins after they are dead before they will stop...

No, John, you merely have to kill them to defeat them.

Let God understand them.
