lebell: i dont think that is the claim in the post--i think it more that wars in themselves create the conditions that would perpetuate "terrorism" itself. so rather than solving the problem, war simply exacerbates it.

i think that is the argument, not that all wars are unjust--which i take to be a shift in logical level on your part.

the conclusion to the argument would be that war is not the answer.
i take it as basically a pacifist position routed through a critique of the bush administrations use of the category of terrorism.
