"The Economics of Terrorism"

Different River has his take on The Economics of Terrorism

Thanks to The Club for Growth Blog: Carnival of the Capitalist for the lead.

Different River's argument is totally bogus. It's like arguing that the Japanese shouldn't have surrendered after being nuked in WWII because surrender would "subsidize" nuclear war and thus encourage the US to nuke them again. Well, no, it didn't happen that way, because once the US achieved its goal, the marginal utility of additional nukery went to zero.

Similarly, if Iraqi suicide bombers drive the US out of Iraq, it does NOT follow that they will then try to drive the US out of Florida.
