Cobalt...don't you think that Islamic religious fanaticism has added another category to the mix?

My post about today's "terrorist's" was probably a bit simplistic. I think the terrorists of today DO have an agenda, but that agenda is actually "otherworldly".

When the President of Iran talks about war, he also talks about the "12th Imam" as being a factor in his "jihad". He doesn't seem to be striving toward any political or geopolitical end in his pronunciations. He seems to be looking a bit further ahead to the "eternity" stuff.

But all bomb-throwers were called "anarchists" because anarchism was a point of view that wasn't understood, and their behaviour was anarchic.

Also many of the bomb throwers really were anarchists. That was one of the main point of views behind such violence at the time, but your right it wasn't the only one.
