Reply #45: Apathetic vs innocent...

[Finder]

It really sucks but terrorism is effective in many places because people are apathetic until death and destruction hits close to home or in their pockets.

Also, in some cases a small group does not have air power or a military force to fight conventional war. Pegging stones at the "enemy" is useless.

When diplomacy and debate is not even allowed...what else is there. That is not to say terrorism is not used by those with bad intentions--it is in many places.

If a person willingly paid taxes to a government/organization murdering thousands--they are funding which as Bush says makes them the enemy. Why do we think the "terrorists" don't feel exactly the same? All extremists use the same rationale.
