Im not defending suicide bombings because it is truly disgusting but if these sort of issues are ever going to get solved we just cant come up with the reasoning of "They have western society."

By using the following definition posted by another user:
"Do you mean terrorist?

if so: a radical who employs terror as a political weapon.

someone who incites terror to achieve a political objective in other words"

It is obvious too see that the actions of the American Government on the invasion of Iraq can be seen as an act of terrorism. The only difference being that the American Governement has million dollar weapons to play with.

Sorry but your post seems a little anti-USA for me
Terrorists don't only go and blow themselves up just in response to American government actions (like the Iraqi invasion), yes its possible this comes into it but United States Government does not have a lot to do with things like the bombing of the Australian Embassy in Indonesia not long ago.

For the record, there was terrorism before the USA invaded Iraq

Not a personal attack on you Steven
