A very interesting article which seems to provide some factual basis for the gut feeling I and many other people have: taking the fight to the suicide terrorists is counter-productive.
A key quote:
So if Islamic fundamentalism is not necessarily a key variable behind these groups, what is?
The central fact is that overwhelmingly suicide-terrorist attacks are not driven by religion as much as they are by a clear strategic objective: to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from the territory that the terrorists view as their homeland. From Lebanon to Sri Lanka to Chechnya to Kashmir to the West Bank, every major suicide-terrorist campaign—over 95 percent of all the incidents—has had as its central objective to compel a democratic state to withdraw.Posted by Oxygenik at July 26, 2005 3:31 PM
