- TURNING POINT IN TERRORISM? -
From "The Economist" November 13th, 2003. The latest terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia have left at least 17 people dead, most of them Arabs from neighbouring countries.Israel is building a wall, ostensibly to make it more difficult for terrorists to cross from Palestine to Israel. This brings to mind two other walls, that in Berlin and that in China. The Berlin wall was designed to stop emigration. The Chinese wall was designed to keep Mongol looters out. Both had qualified success.
To
allay the main discontent, but only in a manner that will certainly
produce further discontents can hardly be called successful.
Therefore the sage behaves like the holder of the left-hand tally, who
stays where he is & does not go round making claims on
people. "For he who has Te is the grand almoner, he who has not
Te is the grand perquisitor. "It is heavens way, without
distinction of persons, to keep the good perpetually supplied". Tao Te Ching.
