no because that would have made us as bad as them, but your right Americans are hypocrites they've been funding terrorism for years and then complain when it affects them

First off terrorism is not limited to Muslims and all Muslims are not terrorist.  The Irish Republican Army = terrorist, school yard bullies = terrorist, Gangs & Mafias = terrorist.  Now that that misconception is clear.  Let's talk terrorism.  \n\nI don't think what you have mentioned is a possible cause of terrorism because I witness the same thing happen right here in the US anytime I go to the store.  Kids running wild and the parents not doing anything about it.   There are so many spoiled brats in America it's rediculous.  \n\nFor example, Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton one could assume that they, "are never told they are wrong, that they are spoiled into getting what they want, ... (throw) childish tantrums... because they have never been made to grow up.", yet we don't see them crashing airplanes into buildings.

The Irish Republican Army (or IRA for short) is a paramiltary organisation that was formed during "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland in the late 1960's.

No I am not surprised that there is no terrorist attacks. Unfortunately I don't believe there ever was any. Better take a close look at who would have benefited from such an attach (not only benefit but have the means to carry out) and you will find that its not anyone who is muslim. Check out the documentary 9/11 Loose Change. They have hard facts.

Yes, we can stop terrorism.\nDispose of the secret services. The CIA/MI6/Mossad/ISI were between them responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid train bombing, Bali bombing, Mumbai train bombing, Lockerbie air disaster, and many others - all blamed on Arabs or Muslims in order to keep people terrorised and prepared to give away their freedom in exchange for ill-perceived security.

You clearly don't understand the concept of terrorism, which is to terrorise the masses, not the people who have the CIA protection teams.\nYou are thinking of assassins.

Terrorism is only terrorism, which ever side you remain. Killings  innocents in World Trade Center, At London Railway stations or in Delhi crowded Markets are always terrorism which ever side you are. F-16  are bombing remote villages because terrorist are hiding there.

Wow, what a big question.\n\nSometimes a country is forced into military action and something will get bombed, or shelled or attacked by other means.\n\nUsually the target will be military, but unfortunately the myth of smart bombs which drop from 40,000 feet onto a silver dollar is not true. Bombs and bullets often miss their targets and kill innocent civilians. Tragic but inevitable.\n\nThe government of your country however, as your representatives, do not go out deliberately to kill civilians for a number of reasons;\n\nThere is no point\nIt is counter productive in terms of propaganda\nIts expensive\n\nTerrorists on the other hand do not have the means, the support or very often the guts to attack military installations or other countries in the usual sense, so they sneak around blowing innocent civilians up deliberately.\n\nIf you look at the IRA they used to blow up shopping centres and pubs full of ordinary women, children and young people up - DELIBERATELY\n\nIf you look at ETA in Spain, they continue to blow up holiday resorts where ordinary fmailies from all over the world are relaxing on the beach. - DELIBERATELY\n\nHamas and all the other looneys in the middle east blow people up on buses to the shops, inculding school buses - DELIBERATELY  \n\n911 - Hijackers looked air stewardesses in the eye as they slit their throats with packaging knives, and looked a small girl in the face as they flew the plane on which she was a passenger into the World Trade center. They probably sat opposite her in the departure lounge and smiled at her as she played with her mother, knowing that they were going to kill her - DELIBERATELY  \n\n7/7 The Tube bombers sat amongst commuters in London and looked their victims (all sexes, religions and races) in the eye knowing that they were going to blow them into chopped liver.- DELIBERATLEY\n\nYou personally are a legitamate target for a terrorist. Doesn't matter what you believe, what colour you are, what religion you are, who you support or what your politcal beliefs are.\n\nYou are a target because one day you may be on the bus or train, or in the bar, where they have decided to leave the bomb. \n\nThat is the difference.

It depends Islam has different branches too.\nAnd they are all different. Just like Christianity. Look At Ireland.\nBut main cause of terrorism is social when they do not have jobs and lost their families at war people are very sensitive and hurt they tend to turn in to the religion and there comes the mullah who use the religion for the power and money and brain wash these people.\nSo not all muslims are terrosits. \nBut I came from middle east and i think those wars will never end till the end of the time.\nI am a Muslim but the good gave people some common sense to use as well.\nIf god is going to send me to the heaven with those hijackers. I would prefer to go to the hell.

This summer, the Irish Republican Army promised to stop having violent confrontations with the United Kingdom.\n\nThis past spring, terrorists bombed some subways and a bus.

Personally, I noticed that they burned a Chinese restaurant, looted their own peoples businesses, set fire to police boxes and were brought under control by their own police. As I have said so many times before people tend to forget, like with the Afghans during the Russian occupation and with "Kirun". Speaking of "Kirun", the next time that England, or France, or all of Europe needs to be saved from occupation and extermination, as in WW1 and WW2, don't call on us, call on Iraq, Iran, North Korea,Vietnam, China, or oh my, Afghanistan. I'm sure that they will rush right over to lay their lives on the line for your countries.

Do you mean lately?\n\nBoston, as well as New York City, at one time was a place where the IRA could expect to raise a lot of money because it has a high population of Irish Catholics.

Absolutely! What produces terrorism abroad produces ultra-right wing conservative here. Don't believe me? Look at James Dobson, one of the most vile human beings on the planet.

Terrorism doesn't threaten our COUNTRY. Only the President's misguided actions in rolling back civil liberties and abandoning our national principles threatens our COUNTRY.\n\nTerrorism threatens individuals and property. \n\nConservatives have totally lost sight of the reality of the situation.
