Quotation of the Day for June 23, 2013"Owing to technological developments and changes in the political environment, power -- defined crudely as the capacity to kill, destroy, disrupt, cause alarm, and compel society to divert vast resources to security -- is coming into the hands of smaller and smaller groups whose grievances, real or imaginary, it would not always be possible to satisfy. How democracies deal with this, and remain democracies, is one of the major challenges we face in the late twentieth century." - Brian Jenkins, in "International Terrorism: A New Mode of Conflict" (1974).
