Somehow I don't think the six million dead would have been impressed with your oh-so-principled holding out for a "solution to the root problem".

I hear people start talking about "root causes" when they want to deflect, delay or re-spin more direct action. You know: "Well, you need to look at the root causes here...allow me to sell you a long story about how my politics views the world, etc." Five minutes later you're getting some collectivist "moral equivalance" riff about how it's your fault somebody planted a bomb in your restaurant.

Nonsense.
