At what point did it become acceptable to randomly target innocent cilvilians?
Terrorism is nothing new RH - the US "discovered" it on 9/11 and then proceeded to forget who committed that offense and elected to have a war with Iraq instead and kill far more innocent people than were ever killed on 9/11.

The Basques in Spain (ETA etc) have been committing "terrorist acts" since Roman times, the IRA have been doing the same. Both of them consider they have a "cause" - and looking at history, they sure do. Blowing up non-military targets and innocent people can't get sympathy for any cause that may have existed.

There are literally 1000's of "orgs" of people who feel they have been dumped upon and, often justifiably, they get pissed. Fortunately the majority don't blow people up to make a point.
