I don't think having WMDs helps much, but, you have a point.

In almost every case, terrorism acts are the means by which weak country's fight the strong ones.

Criminals act for one's own self. Now, a suicide bombing is an act far from being for one's self. Though it is technically against the law, making them criminals for doing it, this terrorism is far from being a simple criminal act just for the hell of scaring people. It goes far deeper than that. And anyone who continues to say that Al-Qaida fights the west because they hate democratic freedom is just fooling themselves.

Wasn't Nelson Mandela part of a terrorist group? And wasn't there some Israeli terrorism going on against the British before the establishment of Israel? Those are just two that I believe were successful, surely there are many others.

And venomX Ireland also took terrorism route to win their cause and they suceeded.. These examples just failed my point where I said its just the 'poor' countries who take terrorism as weapon to win..

There is your myth perpetrated by big western media to absolve themselves of terrorism charges , in almost every case you will find a poor down trodden or fanatical and wanting glory person being encouraged and/or financed by a stronger or richer entity fighting a sort of a proxy war and when that doesnt' work then it's on to that entity to shed any pretense and try the dirty work themselves

On another note, WMD's help a lot , for one no one will bother you and you go from a dictator everyone tries to ignore to a statesman if you have one.

Suicide bombers do it for glory and they outweigh that over life the same way people in dangerous jobs do it for money and fame or high profile criminals . They want to leave their mark more than anything

Al Qaida fights the west because it has the same globalistic totalitarian approach of domination as Washington/London/Brussels and every mean to do it. We are witnessing a fight for global domination but like nazis and commies before them they are just likely to kill each other off along with millions of their victims and neither will deliver in the end but both are absolutelly convinced of their cause along with millions of their followers

So which side is right? What is the alternative?
