Explaining suicide terrorism

Keith Suter says it far better than I ever could here: http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=3707.

This is a great understanding and it's one that the advocates of the "War on Terrorism" just don't get. If only everyone understood that violence against desperate peoples is counter-productive.

Bring on the day when vengence is forgone in favour of understanding.
