If a suicide bomber attacks the local coffee shop, do you respond by wishing to simply kill all muslims...
...or do you also ask yourself, what would drive a person to do this?
It's not as simple as good and evil, which is why we're not winning the "war on terrorisim".

Unless you can stop the flow of new recruits, there will always be plenty.

Well, first you have to ask yourself...
Why do people strap bombs to themselves, or fly airplanes into buildings?
The profile seems to be young, and often educated Muslims.
So why do they do this?

Why do we have to ask ourselves that question? It's like asking why the Kamakasi pilots during WWII did what they did. Its a pointless discussion, we don't need to understand them, we just need to kill them.

Mike, read what I've said above...
You can't kill them all, think Lucy and the Pie Factory !
Unless you understand why someone moves to the dark side, how can you ever stop the flow?
This has nothing to do with liberalisim, it's common sense and problem solving.

Japan style of Kamikaze was great honor to sacrifice one's life for a good cause. In doing so, one would reap many rewards in the afterlife. Kamikaze pilots of Japan wore formal uniforms for their Kamikaze mission. I beleive there's a tale that providing that honor will resurrect a God to banish the invaders from the land of Japan with a Tsunami caused by a Typhoon. The tale lived true but the Tsunami was 1 day too late as Japan was struck with Little Boy.
Germany on the other side followed Kamikaze missions influence by a tale that dates back the rule of Prussia. (Not sure how the story went because I felll asleep in the middle of the documentary)
Bottomline their motives were based on Prophecy. Same concept the Jews used to crucify Jesus. They were afraid of the prophet. I mean terrorist do, in the sake of Ji'had.
