excellent interview, not just about drone strikes but also about liberal ideas of contextless radicalization, the need to focus on politics rather than religion, problems of immigration, racism and police brutality, how secular radical leftism inspired by the black panther movement and anti-imperial movements was intentionally suppressed by the british govt in the early 1980s thru the sponsorship of religious conservatism, links b/w the iraq war and a rise in terrorism, the need to understand the causes of terrorism rather than relegating it to some abstract category of incomprehensible evil, the separation of religion and politics in islam going back 1000 yrs, the hypocritical distinction between state and non-state violence, and how drone attacks are terrorism based on the definition of that word.
