Mmmm... "Terrorists" have been around longer than any of us would remember. Some "terrorist orgs" from Roman times are still active today (Spain) and will be here long after we have all gone.
The UK has had "terrorism" since the then "rulers" dominated Ireland and starved that country into some form of submission. This then developed resentment and folks got kinda tired of being trampled on and "revolted" and we now call that the terrorism of the IRA. Sure.. there is nothing good, or in any way admirable about blowing the shit out of people, - that is the only "force" they seem to consider they have at their disposal.
Now.. the settlement time comes, often after decades of killing, we then sit down at conference tables and negotiate a "peace" with bombers.. ironic.
The US is going thru the same learning process now - we never learn too quick we? It is not by getting a blindfold and pointing a finger at the map and choosing a country to "terrorize" - there are/were reasons (tho, ya sometimes wonder how bad it was to come up with any reasoning), but sure was not crap like "they are jealous of our freedoms" and other naive excuses.
Rest assured the bin Laden mob will end up at a conference table to negotiate "something" - but that may be decades away, despite there is some talk already of background "chats" between the US and "terrorists".
Stuff about Clinton and Bush don't really matter - the pot was boiling for decades before that. Tho... idiots like Bush don't help - he has this quality of increasing terrorism and helping em recruit more members. Forgetting the fact they just love George cos he walks right up the path they lay out for maximum damage in economic and other areas.
Europe and North America will have plently "terrorism" to come yet - if it ain't one terrorist group, - it will be another, as long as someone somewhere has an axe to grind.
