What are the reasonable purposes why terrorists blast or bomb different places in the world?

do you want them to bomb same place again and again?\n jokes apart they think if they do enough damage to other party it will surrender and comply with their demands.

You kill a man who has wronged you, the police try to catch you. You run, they shoot, then how can you justify yourself becoming a terrorist?  Why you kill somebody in da first place, huh, bubba?  Violence only complicates things more and more, it does not solve anything. Someone has to keep things in check for society and civilization to survive and prosper.\n\nI hope you get the idea, bub!\nst

Terrorist isn't an ethnicity.  \nHow would you target buildings that don't belong to an invisible organization with an unknown population?

By invading Iraq illegally America has created a new heaven for terrorists. The daily bombings in our country and the sectarian violence are all caused by the American presence on our land. America it self is protecting a terrorist state in Israel. The only way to fight terrorism is to go back into the root cause of terrorism. By attacking every nation that does not agree with American policies will only create more terrorists. Only a brainless moron thinks that he can tame these terrorists with terror tactics.

Arizona is a wonderful state that a lot of Americans go to during the winter.  Travel there in the summer and visit many great attractions such as the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Painted Dessert.  Keep away visitors and the economy of AZ would have a lot of problems.  Terrorism is just that to terrorize people so that they do not act as normal.  An attack against the Southwest of any sort would have an impact of people coming to your state.  That is they're intention to control what we do by instilling fear in our people.  I know that to some people an attack there would make no sense, but to me it makes as much sense as anything else.  The terrorist threat is supposed to be that scare the people and keeping people from doing everyday things is the way to go about it, much could be destroyed that we could never get back and that would probably be more devastating than 9/11.

Global hegemony makes us a target from terrorism.  If you want more terrorist attacks, then by all means invade sovereign nations for no real reason.  However, if you actually want to keep our country safe, it's probably best to keep our heads down.

I would suggest that there are terrorists training all over the world, not just "breeding" in Canada.  Terrorists all over the world are being hunted down and captured...in Canada, the US, England......

It looks like terrorism to me the thing i can`t understand is why is it terrorism if you strap a bomb to your self and kill innocent people but if you drop a bomb from a plane and kill even more innocent people then its not. Surely no killing of innocent people can be justified and in my opinion any one who kills another person be that person Innocent or not is a murderer and the ones who order the killing of thousands are monsters and no better than Hitler

In their fight to create the nation of Israel zionists participated in actions against Great Britain that were they to happen today would have been considered terrorism.  The same could be said of the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution and the Civil War.  \n\nI realize that doesn't strictly answer your question.    Here is a reference that should be useful:\nHonor and Martyrdom: Suicide Bombing Isn't as New or Alien as Westerners Imagine\n"The rate of suicide bombings - the seemingly endless supply of people prepared to blow themselves up - leaves a western audience utterly bewildered. What kind of psychology motivates people to such violent extremes? The incomprehension prompts revulsion that this form of warfare is historically unprecedented and reveals a peculiar, aberrant irrationality - a kind of inhuman madness. All too quickly, Islam is blamed for deluding its believers into martyrdom with promises of 72 virgins; the old prejudices about Islam as a faith uniquely associated with violence and unquestioning belief are fanned into life again.\n\nBut such prejudices won't get us very far in trying to unpick which elements of this violent phenomenon are in fact unprecedented and which are not - or to understand why the strategy has been adopted."

The aim is to create a peaceful world.  Its not the super powers that are fighting, its the freakin idiot, religious extremists and little tribes that are all fighting with each other or the super powers.

Destruction of poultry - would that amount to an act of terrorism ? I don't think so. \n\nA better and more dangerous method ,appropriate to a terrorist mind would be to introduce the mutated(the ones which can spread from human to human by respiratory droplets) strains of Bird Flu into some country.The resultant epidemic and the large scale of deaths would create panic amongst citizens and thereby qualify as an act of terrorism.

Some people think 9/11 was a purposeful choice when choosing when to attact the World Trade Center because across America we use 9-1-1 when there is an emergency.  My own opinion is that it was a coincidence.  I guess no one will ever know for sure.

It's logic....considering 9/11.  We are concerned with lowering our incidence of another attack.  And the Arab World in general hasn't been so friendly to us either....why with all the people so willing to strap a bomb to themselves and walk into a place where they could kill 20 Americans......It doesn't seem that other regions of the globe are so willing to do the same.....wouldn't you be concerned??

Potential terrorists are not hanging around talking about how miserable their lives are and are making money for their families when economies are good.  When the economy stinks, people are hanging out and blaming people for their problems and then they get angry about it and sometimes people think that blowing themselves up might help someone else.

First of all, you have to make sure the people you're going to kill actually are terrorists. The War on Terror is a sham. The US isn't going after terrorism all over the world. If this was true then terrorist attacks wouldn't be at an all time high. Don't believe the hype of the talking head in Washington DC.

that you are 1/2 right. First part good, second part bad. Being a terrorist happens because of a belief. Terrorists come in all shapes, sizes, colors, nationalities, and religons.
