Islamic Terrorism: Car Bomb and Power Staples

islamic terrorism: The day before, a car bomb killed 10 people in Mogadishu, according to Hamilton Spectator. And a few days before that, 42 Somali refugees were killed when a helicopter fired on their boat off the coast of Yemen. A refugee camp in Nigeria was also bombed on Wednesday again by five Boko Haram suicide bombers. The through-line of this bloody snapshot is Islamic terrorism. One of the most counterproductive cuts of all, however, is the plan to slash soft power staples as diplomacy and foreign aid. But the response, as laid out in President Donald Trump's budget blueprint, is to pump an extra 54 billion into the best-funded military in the world while cutting investment in virtually everything else.
