Terrorism in Context
A Short Story
A man is driving a car with a boil on his arm, he refuses to stop the car, so his wife goes to lance it with a needle while he is driving. However, she does not have a needle, only a rifle, so she decides to shoot the boil off after having the man open the window (we want to avoid collateral damage). The pain surprises him and he drives the car off the road. The car is destroyed, all of the passengers are injured, and the trip is interrupted at great expense.
Who is to blame: the boil, the rifle, the wife, or the man?

The Reality
Maersk gets it, government does not.
Complexity & congestion easily disrupted
Train wreck does not stop ships directly
Terrorism is, at worst, a train wreck
Government decisions—bad decisions-do
Bad decisions cost billions and billions
“The seaports were closed as a result of the decisions of government participants in the game making the sorts of decisions they would make in real life. …it is inaccurate to say the bad guys did $58 B in damage to the US economy. US response to a far smaller failed attack is what did the damage.”

To kiss or not to kiss is an inter-disciplinary inquiry. WHEN and HOW to kiss is the artsy part.
