War on Terrorism

In response to the execution of American citizen, Al-Awlaki (who also supported Islamist extremism), Ed Husain criticizes the American government for its illogical and hypocritical decision to kill Americans that oppose their country. Husain makes the argument that the basis of Al-Awlaki's execution violates the "very same principles of human dignity" that America tries to live by.
Husain also points out the irony and counter-productivity of killing a Muslim with close ties to Al-Qaeda. In killing Al-Awlaki, America actually helped the Al-Qaeda cause by publicizing a Muslim martyr; a "Malcolm X" of Muslim culture.
Husain ends his editorial by noting that this war on terrorism cannot be fought with more terror, rather a nonviolent and intellectual approach should be used.
