I suspect people just like to have a boogeyman to blame so that they feel they have more understanding or control of the situation than they actually do. "It's a bad situation and we don't know what the cause is or how to fix things" isn't something you'll hear very often, particularly from politicians.

- stallmanite 7y agoI can never wrap my head around the thought process. Kill innocents and somebody else will be impressed with Anarchism somehow?
- Izkata 7y agoThink of it as hostage-taking at mass scale, intending for fear of continued bombings leading to capitulation.
