I'm not so suree that's true. We have no real understanding of their upbringing, their beliefs or what really makes them 'tick'. If they were westerners, it might well be easier to accuse them of only doing it because they knew they would get rescued. I'm not so sure about these guys. I think they really believed what they were doing was in some way effective.
Don't get me wrong, I think they're quite misguided. I just think in trying to understand world affairs it's essential to understand how the other guy arrived at his point of view first.
