We are told that terrorists are mindless, evil creatures of the abyss with no other intention than murdering as many people as possible, regardless where they come from.

However, so far, Al Qaida has been very selective with their targets. In a very rational way the organisation took actions against those countries which were part of the Coalition (latest example Spain) or those who supported them (Riad). They didn't attack Germany, or Switzerland, or Russia or Brasil and it is very likely that the next target will be Italy, England, Poland or Bulgaria.

Why would somebody whose only intention is to kill and murder innocent civilians be so selective? Damn, for an organisation like Al Qaida it ought to be very easy to kill thousands of people in countries like China or India.

And now we have a problem: it is very important to label terrorists as irrational hardly-human beings. As soon as they are perceived as rational buisnessmen, the public might start to think there could be other (better) ways to deal with those people than to be at war with them.

Therefore it is important for the 'war against terror' -coalition to maintain the image of terrorists as vile monsters. How can they achieve this?
Here's my recommendation: they should fake a terrorist attack in a country like Germany. Meanwhile the US certainly has enough information to create genuine Al Qaida bombs. They could blow-up something like a children hospital and leave two bodies of recently passed away Guantanamo prisoners

I'm sure this would result in an overwhelming support for the war against terror for many years...

Ahhh....I have to get back to reality.
Something like this could only happen in a world where the leaders of the forces of righteousness are preaching about morality and ethics, but then don't live up to those standards.

Luckily, our leaders do...
