What you are implying is that victims bring it on themselves. I could not agree less with this sort of thinking. There are cases where one's actions will bring reprisals, but history is filled with billions of examples of unprovoked (in a direct sense) violence and criminal acts. There are a plethora of mental conditions which can and do inspire people to criminal behavior, which in their own minds, seems justified. I personally think the motivation of the terrorists is to stop the US from threatening their way of life. Their way, in my opinion, has to do with their religion, their totalitarianism (in families and sometimes in government), with men dominating women (legal murders for perceived sexual injustices, for example). Most of these radical fundamentalists are operating using a "guidebook" written thousands of years ago which is completely inflexible and accommodating of change. The world is different now, but they wish it weren't so and will sometimes do anything to keep from having to change. The real irony to me is that they exploit OUR freedoms in order to destroy our freedom and to preserve their non-free social system.
