Why? Its an angry comment, but its what very many think. Don't we listen in order to understand that which we don't understand? Is only one view allowed?

15 years of this war on terror, and we have this. Something isn't working, something needs to change. I'd suggest that flagging people we don't like the sound of is one of those things we need to change.

Personal attacks on other posters of the type NoCulturalFit has been engaging in (repeatedly) on this subthread are never acceptable on HN.

There are many views visible in this thread that haven't been flagged. One thing that they share is that people aren't attacking each other, they are discussing ideas.

Is specifically against HN guidelines for commenting.

Otherwise we're in violent agreement, that whole 'war on terror' thing is bankrupt and it's high time that that was acknowledged in the places where it matters but that will take a lot of time and a very different approach to problem solving.
