   What you ignore is that terrorism tends to be carried out by those who feel   
   that more normal means of getting redress will not work.  Just as a matter   
   of record, technically those who fought the British in the 1940's to found   
   Israel were just as much terrorists as those now condemned for terrorism in   
   Israel.  It should be noted that the same impetus now exists for some   
   Palestinians (the folks at issue when Black September was mentioned) to not   
   accept the status quo.  The roots incidentally are relevant since only   
   genocide or addressing the root causes will make the terrorism go away.
