Yo amirman,

I have ofter thought that the Western power possesor's use of the word
'terrorist' was cynical and sneaky. It kind of reduces them to something
less than human.
My feeble mind is not up to making sensible political statements in general,
and I find the factors in 'the war against terrorism'  far to complex to
make any confident predictions or projections, so I don't want to be
understood here as supporting 'terrorism'.  If you are a Muslim with strong
politcal views who feels terribly prejudiced by the West how can you make
the enemy sit up and take notice and change their ways?  If you don't have
technology how else can you  fight against  your technologically far
superior oppressors?  Trying to put myself in the place of a would be
suicide bomber I think I can partly understand why they do what they do.
