PD: I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. There are many groups that had "struggles" with the government before. Every country that has seen a terror attack has had terror bombs from local groups before.
It isn't hard to draw a direct line from US actions to more terror actions. It is the same pattern that is seen in Israel today... the harder to government pushes, the more the other side resorts to drastic action. In both cases, the weaker group uses terror style attacks to keep things "even" as far as they see. In both cases, they use religeon as a motivating factor to make these attacks happen.
The tit for tat act / retaliation / retribution / payback / evening of the score / eye for an eye horsehit that has been middle east politics for as long as I can remember looks to be spreading to the entire world. Terrorists drag everyone down, and Bush is stupid enough to get engaged in a war that cannot be won until 100% of the other side is dead.
It sucks.
