- javert 13y agoFor people who don't want to read the essay, I'll just say: Peikoff argues that modern terrorism is almost entirely coming about through sponsorship by a couple of very, very bad states, and simply ending those states in a proper, just war would solve the problem and make "Fortress America" unnecessary. (Any mistakes here are likely my own, not his.) maxharris, wasn't this actually a full-page ad in the NYT? Could be wrong but for some reason I thought it was.
