Dialogue with Terrorists

Jeff at Tusk and Talon comically illustrates the folly of dialogue with terrorists.

Dialogue Advocate: "Thank you for meeting with me. We understand that you have a series of legitimate claims and that your feelings are no more, or less, legitimate as our own. I hope to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for your position. And I hope that you feel the same. Can we agree on that."

Terrorism Advocate: "I would like for you to be dead....and your children....and your wife will be stoned to death."

Dude, those terrorists sure are harsh. What the hell did we do to piss them off? Well, excuse us for living!
