Newsweek on Terrorism

A friend forwarded me this article from Newsweek (which is only online, it wasn't in my copy that I received at home) that deals with the Biblical repsonse to terrorism, through the story of Amalek. It's very well-written and appropriate for all audiences, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. I find it particularly interesting because I have always had trouble with the commandment to destroy Amalek (due to my pacifist nature). But the way the author deals with it, I can understand the commandment. Check it out.
