Somehow, I doubt that.

I doubt that too.  If that were the only reason, the terrorists may as
well have flown planes into Israeli targets.

That is my interest in this. I want this shit in

I agree with you here completely. But the problem seems to be that
everyone wants to have the last word. Tit for tat. Eye for Eye. That
is after all, what the  Palestinians and Israelis are doing, and what
the US is doing in Afghanistan.  You can call it what you like and
justify it how you wish (I like 'Attack on terrorism' as it neatly
mirrors 'Terrorist Attack' in lots of ways ) but in the end it will be
seen as another eye taken that will need to be avenged. And increasing
the likelihood that it does indeed spin out of control...
