I can understand Patriotism & loyalty and how people can hold strong views for & against other countries & causes.

I think I can understand how a "crime of passion" can result in one person taking the life of another - one on one, anyway.

What I can't understand is how anyone, could cold bloodedly, plan to murder & maim other people in order to to express their views - or even why they would think it could achieve their aims.

You would have thought that the sheer horror of atrocities like 9/11, Bali & what the IRA did to Manchester, would make these people think again about their strategy - what kind of person could do something like that & then start thinking about what to do next?

No pro/anti cause is worth the appalling carnage of these acts of violence, how the people who perpetrate them ever get support for what they do is beyond me?
