What do you think motivated the WTC attack?

Nausea. Vertigo. The desire for glory. Revulsion with, and fear of, modern Western (read: American) culture.

All perfectly normal reactions, shanghaied into something morally indefensible.

I would no sooner teach my children what motivated Al Qaida than I would teach them what motivates rapists or murderers or corporate defrauders.

Some things are just wrong, and don't require, or deserve, understanding.
