Tracy Riddle Wrote:Lebanon was hit recently too. Funny how they leave Israel alone, ain't it? People need to ask themselves, how do "Islamic terrorist" groups benefit from carrying out such attacks? Do they gain territory, or money, or win over hearts and minds? No. The only converts they attract are mostly mentally disturbed young people who aren't much use except as cannon fodder.
There is no strategic goal beyond this nebulous idea of "setting up a Caliphate," which can't possibly happen if they are pissing off every industrialized country into coming together to bomb them.
Who benefits?
I so much agree, Tracy.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
