#1 It's probably a mistake to analyze the motives of the terrorists, and to judge whether a particular terrorist attack was 'stupid'. Raving psychotic muzzie death cult rampages are inherently stupid, all the time.

No, they don't analyze whether their 'attacks' will be percieved as stupid or smart. They commit these acts for the same reason the scorpion stung the frog...it's in their NATURE.

#2 They have this overwhelming urge to kill someone, anyone. And soldiers/officials are hard to kill. So what do you do? Civilians, schoolkids, women especially are much easier.

#3 I think Tony Saprano said it best: You never shit where you eat, and YOU NEVER shit where I eat!

#4 I think this article is cruelly insensitive. If cut off from killing Israelis what do you expect? I mean, ramifications and cause-effect issues aside, they have to kill somebody.

#5 IMO, these are are to Radical Islamists what so-called "blanks" were to Mao and Stalin - simple, perennially poverty-stricken honest people whom are too trusting for their own good, highly susceptible to abuse, corruptions, and deceptions. Probably being told how America, Israel, and West is against God and Islam, and is a threat to traditional [desert] values, and Grandma and Grandpas' camels and way-of life. Dad will go to hell for working 9-5 plus earning time-and-a half to get a decent 1+ storied private house + car(s), and so will Mom for attending post-elementary/basic school(s) and cooking meals wid a GE or Westinghouse appliance. Everyone will go to hell , or at least bear risk of execution, for wanting politicians and espec Mullahs to be elected by popular-democratic vote. REMINDS ME OF AN OLD "BENSON'S" TV EPISODE WHERE A TERROR/GUERILLA COMMANDER HAD KIDNAPPED BENSON AND BENSON'S CO-WORKER, AND WANTED SIX-EIGHT? FULLY ARMED? F-4 PHANTOM JETS, ONE FOR EACH MEMBER OF HIS LOCAL ARMED GROUP EACH OF WHOM DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FLY ONE, AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FLY PERIOD!
