Canadian Military Analyst suggests the West needs more Terror attacks

Only attacks on scale of 9/11, 7/7 can bolster public resolve according to war studies head

by Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet [Excerpted]

The West needs more terror attacks on the scale of 9/11 and 7/7in order to save a failing foreign policy, according to Lt.-Col. Doug Delaney, chair of the war studies program at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario. This alarming admission can be found right at the end of a long and academic Toronto Star article about the history of conflict, LINK.

The Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), is the military academy of the Canadian Forces and is a full degree-granting university.

In a paraphrased quote attributed to Delaney, he concludes that "The key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago." "If nothing happens, it will be harder still to say this is necessary," adds Delaney.

By this logic, If terrorist attacks only boost the geopolitical agenda of Western governments then how is it in their interest to prevent them, and of what benefit are they to the actual terrorists -- unless the terrorists occupy positions of power?
