Do you really think that terrorist acts are juvenile acts of attention
getting?
That would be a very superficial, pseudo-psycheanalist thought...
Such superficial thoughts, easy answers, are very harmful to a discussion.

Many people, seem to have the opinion, that if a territory once belonged to
a
nation, then that country, has rights over that territory, forever.
This raises several problems, is it possible to trace back, to the origins
of time,
to see what the territories of a country, really should be? is there any
relation,
between what was a country once, and what it is today? is modern egypt
really,
the heir of the ancient egypcian civilization?
I think that what is important, is to worry about the injustices that take
place today.
That is what is urgent, and that should give us already, more than we can
worry about.
To say that Kuwait belonged to Iraq is Zionism, - extended for nations other
than Israel. You'd have to know very well, the Kuwaitian people, to find out
what nation, do they feel they belong to.
Even if Kuwait is a very convenient, counterweight, client state, ally of
the US.

"We", - or "you", I never which to choose, - certainly are very powerful
terrorists.
