Who gives a fuck where they stand they will all be hunted down and killed. For all you know this bombing was because they don't believe women should run in marathons.
- nolok 14y ago> For all you know this bombing was because they don't believe women should run in marathons. Or maybe their entire family was killed as collateral damage in an american drone strike in Yemen. Or they though the IRS is taxing them too much and wanted to get back at the country. Or they are just fucking crazy and didn't even have a reason. Stop making assumptions with no information whatsoever.
- jlgreco 14y agoI think that was his point.
- scarmig 14y agoIt certainly does matter. Not in terms of whether they're evil or not--they most assuredly are--but how we interpret their actions is very much going to be determined by who they are and what their goals are. If 9/11 had been committed by anti-abortionists or ecoterrorists, we would have had a very different situation on our hands than we did in our reality.
- anigbrowl 14y agoKnowing what their motives were is likely to speed their capture. Most terrorists have trouble keeping their mouths shut.
- rdtsc 14y agoWithout knowing the reasons it is hard to find out who did it and harder to prevent it happening in the future. This is regardless if you are in the "we should pay attention to their grievances in hopes they won't do it again" or "let's fucking blow their families up in retaliation" camp.
- rbanffy 14y agoI know I'm stating the obvious, but the moment you cease to be the "land of the free" in order to better hunt them down and kill them, they win. Because turning you into them is what they wanted from the start.
