So I've read pretty much most of te posts in this thread and have concluded that y'all really haven't concluded much, other than terrorists are bad, m'kay?
On understanding terrorists... Why complicate it by assuming their justifications and then poking holes in them? There are no justifications, there are no good reasons to perpetrate suicide bombings and inflicting injury, mayhem, and death on innocent civilians. Trying to involve U.S. policy in the cause and effect of terrorism is just plain stupid. It shouldn't matter if every 'Murican pissed on the Koran and called Allah a pig farker. There's really no rational, sane reason to do what these nut cases are doing.
Try understanding folks that target men, women, and children alike in their attacks. Can you honestly even begin to get your head around that? I sure can't and the first thing I feel is dispair when I even try. The next thing I feel is a desire to protect mine and myself from these folks, even if it means supporting military action, which is just so contrary to my character.
Ultimately, I think it is the goal of these terrorists to cause these mental disruptions and psychic traumas. It's one hell of a tactic and used only both folks I'd label as evil.
