:confused: Who ever said they weren't?

And aren't terrorists people who want to invoke fear to get their way?

It seems to me then, that the Bush Administration is also a bunch of terrorists. When are they going to invade themselves? :evil:

No no no - if they're on your side they are "freedom fighters"

Today there were blasts in Egypt. Four to seven car bombs. Several dead. Assuming it was done by terrorists, why Egypt? I suppose there could be anti-Egyptian terrorist groups, but if this is Al Qaida and their ilk, what possible gain is therre for them?

Egypt isn't friendly to terrorists, but they aren't pro-Isreal or supportive of our actions in Iraq.

I am a bit confounded by this.

I believe that Al Qaida and similar groups feel that Egypt it too friendly to the west. I was reading something about this recently, but now can't remember where. Also, the area in question was popular with Israeli tourists.

That's true, and I suppose terrorists don't care about such things, but all that does is discourage tourism by everyone, hurting the Egyptian economy.

Somehow possessing great logic or reasoning skills doesn't seem to be high on a terrorists qualifications. I doubt the daily detonation of innocent Iraqis doesn't do much for their cause as well. I think mostly they like to blow things up and read about themselves in the paper.

Nowadays, anyone with a grudge is a potential terrorist. Suicide bombings are the internet age equivalent of a good old fashioned murder-suicide. And there's the appeal of having seventy virgins waiting for you in Paradise. Though, to be honest, a little virgin goes a long way and that many virgins seems excessive to me.

But we're talking for all eternity here, Sac. Heading into that first millenium that first virgin might be looking a bit.....unvirginlike.

Three hours in Paradise with me and that first virgin will look a bit...unvirginlike. :evil:
