[Marxism] Source of Suicide Terrorism

["Austin, Andrew" <austina@xxxxxxxx>]

Comrades,

Robert Pape, in Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism, shows 
rather conclusively that suicide bombers are drawn from those countries where 
the US has had boots on the ground since 1990. Where the West doesn't have 
troops, no suicide bombers. Where the West does, suicide bombers. And these are 
AL QAEDA BOMBERS. 

It is clear that they are attacking the US and its allies because they have put 
soldiers on their land NOT because they are jealous of Western freedom, 
democracy, materialism, or other liberal values. They want us OFF their land. 
That's why the target those countries that have troops in their countries: the 
United States, Spain, and Britain. Denmark is next (unless things change). 

The solution to al Qaeda terrorism is straightforward: LEAVE THE MIDDLE EAST 
AND CENTRAL ASIA. The added benefit is that IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
