Uh… Huh.

*Pinches bridge of nose*

No, no, CPC, we totally believe you on this one. It doesn’t sound at all like some contrivance meant to elicit sympathy from those critical of you by attempting to foster some concept of a “common enemy”. Just like we believe that all these incidents actually are due to the ETIsM, even though you won’t allow independent observers into the region to verify this and demand we accept your narrative; similarly, we pay no heed to the fact that what information we do have from independent sources paints the ETIsM as an extremely diminished and splintered organization which could not possibly account for even a third of these incidents. No one thinks that you’re attempting to justify repressive policies by utilizing tactics that look like a mixture between a 1950s era Soviet propaganda handbook and the contents of George W. Bush’s fever dreams.

Because we trust you.

I come down totally on the side of the Chinese on this one. Look at what happening in other parts of the world. Radical Islamist fighters from lots of other countries are pouring into Syria to get into the action. It only stands to reason that some of them would go back home or to other places to export terror. There are many American citizens who have gone to places like Pakistan or Afghanistan or Libya to fight. The Boston bombers went to Chechnya or thereabouts and came back. It amazes me how many people jump to the defense of terrorists who actually blow people up. I guess it’s for the same reason people start fan clubs for mass murderers.
