I believe that international terrorism is a modern form of warfare against liberal democracies. I believe that the ultimatebut seldom stated goal of these terrorists is to destroy the very fabric of democracy. I believe that it is both wrong and foolhardyfor any democratic state to consider international terrorism to be “someone else’s” problem.   If you believe as I do, then you must join me in wondering why the community of liberal democracies has not bandedtogether more effectively to oppose these international murderers and to loudly and vigorously expose those states whichcynically provide terrorists with comfort and support. One of the great cover-ups of this century is the effort by Westerngovernments, who know better, to muffle the facts about Soviet bloc support for international terrorism.    I am not talking about individual acts of madmen. I am talking about highly organized groups with internationalconnections and support who systematically rely on major acts of violence as a political instrument. I am thinking of theBasque and Puerto Rican terrorists, the European terrorist groups, the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) attacks, orthreats of attack, against moderate Arab states which might be motivated to support the Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement andthe inhuman IS (Islamic State) atrocities. Such acts of terrorism are part of a broad campaign aimed at the disintegration ofdemocratic societies through undermining the confidence of their citizenry in their governments.
