The thing is I honestly don't give much of a fuck about the morality of these things, when rubber hits road any sense of morality goes out the window on both sides, it's a nonissue. What I'm interested in is the why and how, solve those and you'll stop it happening, far more constructive that fawning over the dead and hollow condemnation.
I believe that. You've consistantly displayed more concern for the interaction of political and mercantile forces than for people.

An event such as this, or any militant action, does not stand alone. You need to understand the motivation, purpose and reason in order to procure a logical response. Maybe then our underhanded propogandic war-hungry 'civilisation' will start to make some progress.
Yes, but remember Occam's razor. Don't make it more complicated than it is.
I’m far from an authority on any of this stuff but I have a gut feeling that won’t go away. The profiles of the “Islamic Terrorists” are all over the socio-economic map. Some come from places that the local pastime is counting sand pebbles and some come from major cities. Rich or poor, educated or ignorant, married or single and young or old (relatively). The common thread seems to be Islam. Even though the Islamics claim that’s not the way of Mohammed, there has not been a hue and cry, against the terrorists. So unless there is some reason(s), that makes each of the terrorist’s personal lives suck so badly, they will do anything to escape, it still points to Islam.
