I assume thats a rhetorical question? Its a bit like a Russian asking why RT doesn't question Vlad more, why Fox is partisan or why the North Korean Daily Telegraph hasn't investigated Kin Jong Un's psychopathic tendencies.

Yes, it was rhetorical, but it would still be nice if some MSM commentators broached the idea of policy as the causation of terrorism, as opposed to the tired 'attack on democracy' route.

It is indeed the font line of the 4th estate, I agree. The media need some warrior poets to bring this painfully obvious connection to the forefront of dialogue, and eventually to the foreign policy table. I would like to think that the upcoming generation are getting appropriate exposure to cause and consequence so recent and so obvious that it is voiced on a rugby forum that includes Len and used to have Beef. If we can see it, it can't be too fucking hard to see.

Thanks bro

Your generation has produced some of the biggest shit cunts walking around though. Say what you will about bearded hipsters, but at least they're not racist orange fuckwits that live in Spain and complain about the EU.

I've got this picture of sun burned wombles eating fish and chips in my head.
