There was a famous female terrorist of the 70's who was caught by a metal detector with two grenades in her Bra.

The joke of the time was that she might have got through the screening if she had carried a stick of dynamite!

Humour aside, you have to look at why people do things like this. They don't do it because they are intrinsically "evil" but because they can find no better way out of the unfair and oppresive conditions they live in, and they are brave and stupid enough to try to break the barriers that hold them in.

(Imagine an "alien" invasion of your home country. What would you not do to escape the invader and return to the status quo ante?)

From my perspective, the PLO terrorism was an outcome of the ad hoc creation of the Israeli state, without thought for the fate of the resident Palestinians.

You may have your own opinions here, but take a deep breath for a moment before replying from the hip.

Consider, what will come of Afghanistan? Refugee camps are the breeding grounds of hate and terrorism. We must support and assist the refugees or be overwhelmed by their hatred.

If we don't quickly make plans to bring prosperity to those displaced from Afghanistan, we face future disaster.

And as a corollory, we (or YOU), need to work on righting the wrongs of the post WW2 cold war world where "the ends justified the means".

They didn't.

But now we're there, we - and you - need to go back and use our new-found freedom to help with their problems. If you hide from their problems, you'll soon find yourselves hiding from their hate.
