why dont the leaders of al-qaeda blow themselves up?

Probably for the same reason you don't blow yourself up... instinctive self-preservation. Although the world would probably be a better place without them, I'm sure mass suicide isn't in Al-Quaida's plans anytime soon.

The "twin towers" as well as the Pentagon were not attacked by terrorists. They were attacked by our own government!! The "plan" was to get everyone "fired up" to attack the Islam nations, so we could get control of the world's oil supply. If you don't believe me check out the link! This is a VERY informative website!\n\nhttp://www.hugequestions.com/

If Islam wants to be understood as the religion it purports itself to be, then it must make every effort to distance itself from terrorists like Bin Laden.  They have to start proving themselves with actions, instead of saying publically that they abhor violence, then privately not only approving of it, but, in many cases, funding it.

In order to answer this we need to know why they are really there in the first place.  \n\nIf it is to stop terrorism than it cannot be won.  As long as therre are people there will be terrorists.  Killing people just breeds more hate and leads to a new generation of terrorist.  It is a war without winners.  Of course some would argue a war cannot be won or lost, justexists.

Hmm... Why?  Planning to blow one up?  \n\nSince the terrorism scares, if you even go hunting for this kind of info on the web you may get a visit from the FBI.

No it isn't a cheap tactic.\n\nThe reason is because you have to look at the bigger picture. Remember that movie 'Red Dawn' where the USA had been occupied and lost. There was a group of teenagers who setup roadside attacks. \n\nThat is what ppl do when they have been occupied by a country that is more powerful. I mean what do you expect? Do you think they will just say 'oh ok let me just give up my way of life and culture' and surrender to this all powerful boss.\n\nThat isn't human nature. They fight back in the only manner they can knowing they can't take us head to head. Would we not do the same?

They are afraid of terrorist retaliation if they don't.\n\nThis I believe;\nhttp://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

They believe! Yes it is difficult for us to think that way. We are free and were not raised Muslim. I'll give it the them on the HARDCORE ness of their faith but its whacked. I don't know of any god that says blow crap up. We are not dealing with a westernized civilization. This people are stuck in a religious time warp. We don't have their commitment. And it ain't going to be easy to stop them. It will be too late by the time you see one.

The obvious answer is because one operates from within and one from without. I think that your real query is that of motivations. The international are the age old bandits that have always existed. The real internal terrorists are a whole different thing, they can have many motivators and in all cases should not have been allowed to progress to action. The problem that generated them should be tended to in a sustainable manner not a stop gap, and not later, that's what has us here in the first place. Balance is not an option just ask nature, she is answering us now, but the evil sing to distract and take the last on the plate.

What about those brave Iraqi solders and police, training to combat the terrorists?  These things take time, patience and understanding.  The radicals are killing their own people so that they (the terrorists) can be in charge.  They use fear and intimidation.  This is what needs to be fought against.

Islam is not blowing people up.  Timothy McVey (a christian).. he blew something up... it was not christianity that blew up a federal building.\n\nHold people accountable for their actions, not what philosophy they use to ratonalize bad behavior.

You clearly don't understand the concept of terrorism, which is to terrorise the masses, not the people who have the CIA protection teams.\nYou are thinking of assassins.
