agreed - I don't think there's anything in particular novel about aq in terms of MO - first suicide bombing napeolonic wars wasn't it?
PIRA - hmm, I'm not sure. I initially thought they were fairly committed, but then recent events suggest it has become about the drugs/cash racket.
US Squaddies - well of course they didn't volunteer to go to Iraq...they're just carrying out the orders of the government - and whilst there are undoubtedly acts of needless destruction carried out there, I don't think you can claim they are terrorists.
Men of 30, with or without children of their own, adults? I don't think so...
I could make some snide remark about sports science at Leeds Met but instead I'll just say that receiving education does not equate to intelligence - you only have to see the bigoted attitudes of many politicans to see that.
